Kenilworth Wednesday 28 December Race Previews by Warren Lenferna

Race 1
Preview: SECRET IDEA went very close to winning last time and looks set to get it all right today. SUCCESSION PLAN improved length wise last time and is one that must be watched and included for further improvement. TROJAN QUEST is coming along the right way and is a must for the quartet in a field like this. Keep an eye on the first timer comments and the betting. (Warren Lenferna 1-6-2)

Race 2
Preview: The very well named KAPTEINSPANDISEILE hails from a stable that is in mustard form. He improved out of sight last time and should be very, very hard to beat over the extra. His trainer did say when making a comment for the debut run that he would want ground and that is what he gets today – hard to beat. ICON KING is now becoming very costly to follow from a punting perspective but he keeps running well and earning for his owner and should get it right soon. GADGET MAN is better than his last run. (Warren Lenferna 11-4-6)

Race 3
Preview: SANDY BAY bumps a moderate field and based on her best form should prove a hard horse to beat here. KEEP THE FAITH ran well enough last time to suggest that she should not be a maiden for very much longer. If she were to win today it would be no shock at all. CALL ME DARLING has a strong place chance from the best draw – Richard Fourie gets the ride today. (Warren Lenferna 4-3-2)

Race 4
Preview: POSSIBLY ME ran well last time and today over the extra distance which should suit her down to the ground she should be able to go one better – her draw id good and she gets the services of the same rider that rode her last time. COLORADO ROSE and PUT THE BERRIES have chances as well and must be respected and included but they will have to go some to beat the first choice – Possibly Me. (Warren Lenferna 3-2-1)

Race 5
Preview: KONKOLA has done well since shedding her maiden tag a few runs back and this is a positive sign that she has some ability and should go on to win a few races. Her draw is neat and there are a lot of positives in her favour to suggest she can go very close to winning this afternoon. ALL MINE ran second last time and has to be given a chance here but is set to carry top weight. Hat trick seeking ROCK ON WOOD could well reel off the hat trick – she is racing well and won her last race with ease – respect again. (Warren Lenferna 6-1-2)

Race 6
Preview: MR PISCATO has been running well recently and his last run was particularly good – he is the firm first choice. CHARLIE STRONG can never be ignored – he has the ability to pop up in a race like this – serious respect here. JUDDERING ANGEL is very seldom too far off the action and is a must for the quartet. (Warren Lenferna 3-2-1)

Race 7
Preview: SAILS SET ran behind a good horse last time and brings solid overall form into the race. He does get top weight but could still prove a very hard horse to beat today. INDIGO STORM, REBEL’S IDOL and STATE BALLET look set to fill the minor money positions. (Warren Lenferna 1-5-6)

Race 8
Preview: CORTADA won on debut in the manner of a very good horse. He was then travelled to PE and never shone at all. He is now back on home turf and surely still has tons more to offer. He is the confident first choice in what looks a moderate field. VIKING VOYAGE won well last time and has an undeniable chance of following up. SAINT DONAN has a strong place chance. (Warren Lenferna 2-1-4)

Race 9
Preview: All of FAIRY MAKER, PRIMROSE LANE and TRIP TO INDIA must be included in the short list as the winner should come from one of these three. The race is hard so try and include as many as your budget will allow. (Warren Lenferna 9-2-1)
