SAF - GREYVILLE AW   07 Jan 2026
 
GOING: N

Hollywoodbets BRIGHT FUTURE CLASS 5 1400m

Track: AW   Rain (Max: 26)    

Pace strong with Mystique Rouge and Nautical Landing leading with Amafort nearby. COPACABANA (2) turned things around last start and got the job done by 0.7 lengths over 1400m at Greyville. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat again. BLIND SPEED (3) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when sixth, beaten 3 lengths, at Greyville over 1400m. Likely improver with strong prospects. FUTANO (4) ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1400m at Greyville after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. NAUTICAL LANDING (1) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 11 lengths away in ninth over 1400m at Greyville. Tristan Godden gets the best out of this four-year-old mare. Finds a nice race and can atone.
