O’Tenikwa to follow up on impressive debut

There is plenty of good racing to look forward to and lots of money to make on an enticing 10-race card at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Saturday.

And with leading Cape Town jockey Grant van Niekerk missing through suspension and record-chasing Richard Fourie riding at the same-day Greyville meeting - that includes the Grade 2 WSB 1900, a key Hollywoodbets Durban July trial - Aldo Domeyer is likely to steal the show with a potential three-timer to better the feats of rivals Louie Mxothwa and visiting Kwa-Zulu Natal jockey Sean Veale, both of whom are good value to ride two winners apiece from their competitive book of riders.

Despite relinquishing his position as first-choice rider to Candice Bass-Robinson, Domeyer has continued to boot home the winners regularly. Only Fourie and Van Niekerk have ridden more winners in Cape Town this season, although Domeyer does boast a better Win strike-rate than both rivals.

Perhaps the best of Domeyer’s rides comes up in Race 8, a Class 5 over 1200m, where he rides exciting two-year-old O'Tenikwa, replacing Corne Orffer who steered this Vercingetorix colt to victory on debut.

Andre Nel's charge could not have been more impressive in winning over the same course and distance that day, and it should pay to his follow progress.

The colt was well supported on debut and went off as the 2-1 favourite. He showed good pace throughout the race and extended well over the final 200m to beat Bank Street by 2.25 lengths.
