Start off with the pleasure of a win

March 2024

The curtain may have come down on Cape Racing's spectacular Summer Of Champions season after last month's Cape Derby meeting but the quality of racing and competition on the track remains, with the nine-race card at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Saturday being a case in point.

While the meeting is devoid of feature races and includes four Maiden Plates, the races are competitive throughout so there should be value aplenty for bettors to cash in on,

One of the standout bets on the card is World Of Pleasure in Race 1 and Vaughan Marshall’s charge should get favourite backers off to a winning and profitable start under Bernard Fayd'Herbe, who has ridden this son of One World in both starts.

He finished second on debut over 1000m and was slightly disappointing - although far from disgraced - when only third over 1100m four weeks ago. However, the step up to 1400m in the opener is expected to unlock tons of improvement from this two-year-old colt likely to start a short-priced favourite.

Trainer Brett Crawford saddles a strong coupling in Race 3 and his runners, Lindbergh and Zil Moris, are worth including in Swinger and Exacta bets. Both last-start winners are favourably treated by the conditions of the 1400m Newlands Stakes and are weighted to be competitive. Louie Mxothwa takes over the reins from Gareth Wright aboard Lindbergh, while Richard Fourie will again be aboard Zil Moris, having steered him to a course-and-distance victory on 31 January.
