WSB Best Bets – Kenilworth Racing Tips
Here are World Sports Betting’s standout selections for Wednesday’s meeting, each presenting a genuine betting opportunity:
Race 2 – Fantine
Jockey: Craig Zackey
Trainer: Dean Kannemeyer
Showed promise when staying on strongly into third last time. This looks a modest field and she has every chance of opening her account.
Race 3 – Cutie Patootie
Jockey: Aldo Domeyer
Trainer: Andre Nel
Finished off well on debut and should relish the extra 200m. A natural improver with upside.
Race 5 – Tenango
Jockey: Aldo Domeyer
Trainer: Candice Bass
A classy sprinter facing solid opposition, but his raw ability could give him the edge if things fall his way.
Race 7 – The Night Ferry
Jockey: Richard Fourie
Trainer: Herman Brown
In good form and stays the trip comfortably. Consistent profile suggests he won’t be far away.
Race 8 – Burning Desire
Jockey: Richard Fourie
Trainer: Lucinda Woodruff
An eye-catching debut run from a well-bred type. Expected to improve markedly over this distance.
