Do the splits at Kenilworth

December 2023

Jack Milner

There are no feature races at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Saturday but there is still a quality nine-race card on offer to punters.

Having said that, it is loaded with some testing handicaps with many hurdles for bettors. Nonetheless, there is an early opportunity to build up a kitty for the trickier events ahead.

Lickety Split runs in Race 3, a Maiden Plate for fillies and mares over 1400m.

This daughter of Gimmethegreenlight has filled the runners-up berth in three consecutive starts over 1600m - and wore blinkers for the first time in the latest of those outings - after finishing second over 1400m on the Kenilworth winter course.

Reverting to that trip with the headgear retained in Leg 1 of the day's Place Accumulator could prove a masterstroke for the Justin Snaith-trained filly who ought to reward her supporters with a belated maiden success.

In-form JP van der Merwe takes the ride.
