Take note of Wander Dune

The Mercury

August 15, 2025

HERE are eight races coming out of Hollywoodbets Kenilworth tomorrow which are sure to get the adrenaline flowing.

- WARREN LENFERNA

Take note of Wander Dune

The opening event is set to go off at 1:00 PM, a Maiden Plate for Fillies and Mares over 1000m. When looking at the breeding of some of the debutantes here, Xtines Princess has to catch the eye. She is by Kingman out of a Rip Van Winkle mare that could be anything. Keep an eye on the market trends as race time approaches. Pennys Choice from the Marshall yard will be the one to beat. She is making great strides of progression every time she comes to the races and is clearly paying more attention to the task at hand. Trainer Greg Ennion has his string in a good space and he has opted to take valuable weight off the back of Marketa, who is screaming for the win.

Beach Verse

In Race 2, the Place Accumulator opener, Beach Verse looks to be a confident banker. She is out of the champ Beach Beauty and this daughter of Vercingetorix looks cherry-ripe for the victory. She has improved with each run and should relish every inch of the extra 200 metres she gets this afternoon.

READING Colin Bosman’ letter titled “Trump, Lies and the Invasion of Venezuela’, it suddenly dawned on me that those who hate on Trump do not understand the value of freedom, democracy, meritocracy and good old Churchillian values.
