GOING:

Hollywoodbets BRIGHT FUTURE MR 74 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: STANDARD   Clear (Max: 19)    

Lots of speed predominantly from Hippocrates, Irish Luck and Preemptive Strike. KALAHARI ROLLER (6) was running on well when finishing second over 1000m on this course last time. His penultimate run when fifth behind Rosh Kedesh over this distance, catches the eye. He has ability and he should be fighting out the finish. PROFESSOR LUPIN (4) won a good race in his last start over 1000m at Scottsville. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. He won his only attempt over this course and distance. Merits healthy respect. PREEMPTIVE STRIKE (3) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.2 lengths from the winner in second over 1200m at this track. Finds a more suitable contest and can take the next step and salute. HIPPOCRATES (1) was a winner at this trip and circuit last time out as the favourite. Rates well as a leading chance.
