WSB Best Bets – Kenilworth Racing Tips
Below are our standout selections for Wednesday’s card, each offering a solid betting angle.
Race 1 – La Patrona
Jockey: Aldo Domeyer | Trainer: Candice Bass
Showed marked improvement on her first run at Kenilworth last time. The step up in distance looks favourable and she is capable of further progress.
Race 3 – Iona Castle
Jockey: Luyolo Mxothwa | Trainer: James Crawford
Well supported on debut and ran with purpose in a competitive field. Drawn well again and appears to be moving in the right direction.
Race 4 – Madra Rua
Jockey: Richard Fourie | Trainer: James Crawford
A nicely bred colt who has shaped well in both starts to date. Tries a longer trip for the first time, which could unlock further improvement.
Race 5 – Whirlwind
Jockey: Richard Fourie | Trainer: James Crawford
Finished behind Demanding Dave last time, a runner who has franked the form since. Whirlwind looks to have plenty of upside and should go close.
Race 8 – Astronomical Boy
Jockey: Aldo Domeyer | Trainer: Candice Bass
The well-bred Gimmethegreenlight gelding is worth another chance over more ground. Looks well placed to deliver a strong performance.
Race 9 – Diamond Bomber
Jockey: Aldo Domeyer | Trainer: Candice Bass
Has been competing in stronger company. Proven over course and distance and should appreciate the drop in class. Solid each-way claims.
