Track Conditions & Weather
Surface: Turf
Courses: Summer (2800m) & Winter (2700m) Circuits
Going: Good
Penetrometer: 22
False Rail:
Inside rail in original position on the back straight, with a 2.5m spur at approximately the 600m mark.
Draw Bias:
Inside draws continue to hold an advantage in sprint races, particularly where early pace is strong and positioning is crucial.
Weather Forecast:
Partly cloudy, temperatures ranging between 18–27°C, with a south-westerly crosswind of 11–19 km/h. Conditions look ideal for fair, consistent racing throughout the afternoon.
Kenilworth’s long straight places the emphasis on balance, timing and a strong finish, while tactical rides remain key over shorter trips.
WSB Best Bets – Kenilworth Racing Tips
After analysing form, conditions and jockey bookings, here are World Sports Betting’s standout selections for Tuesday’s meeting:
Race 2 – Trailfinder
Gavin Lerena | Vaughan Marshall
Showed clear promise when finishing second on debut, with the winner having franked the form since. This looks a suitable field for him to take the next step and open his account.
Race 3 – Hazel Green
Juan Paul van der Merwe | Justin Snaith
Knocking very hard at the door and long overdue a win. Proven over course and distance and ideally placed to finally get her reward.
Race 5 – Woman In Gold
Chad Little | Glen Kotzen
An improving filly who was narrowly denied last time out. Well drawn and well suited to this track and trip, she looks a serious winning chance.
Race 7 – Tenpenny
Juan Paul van der Merwe | Patrick Kruyer
Consistent and in good form. The key question is the 1800m, but if he stays, he should be right in the finish.
Race 8 – Hiawatha Goldberg
Sifisokuhle Bungane | Herman Brown
Was full of running when scoring over course and distance last time. With confidence high, he could have another victory in the locker.
Race 10 – The Us Of A
Richard Fourie | Patrick Kruyer
Drops in both trip and class after a solid effort in Grade 2 company. Carries a big weight, but his quality should see him involved and earning at least a place.
