Kenilworth race tips and form analysis for Sunday, June 21
Hollywoodbets Kenilworth hosts an intriguing eight-race meeting on Sunday, with the rescheduled Winter Mile and Winter Sprint headlining a competitive afternoon of racing on the Winter Course. After rain disrupted the original schedule, both feature races now take centre stage on a soft track where proven wet-track performers could hold a major advantage.
The Winter Mile looks a fascinating contest with Gallic Dream rated a leading chance after a series of strong performances in better company. The gelding has repeatedly found trouble in running or worked against difficult draws, but his recent form reads well for this assignment and under log-leading jockey Craig Zackey he should be right in the finish. Chasingtherainbow rates a major threat after an impressive last-start victory for new trainer Rob Barret, while Beware The Bomb has the class and profile to make her presence felt if building on her comeback run.
The Winter Sprint also promises plenty of quality with The US Of A, returning speedster All The Rage and in-form mare Berry’s Boogie all bringing strong claims into the 1200m feature. Elsewhere on the card, Blind Date looks one of the stronger runners on the programme after an authoritative front-running victory last start, while veteran campaigner All About Al will look to cap the meeting in style in the final event.
