Hollywoodbets BRIGHT FUTURE MR 72 HANDICAP 1900m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 23)    

Hot early pace from National Award, The Mikado and Fine Admiral going hammer-and-tongs, with a few others keeping them honest. PORFIRIO (7) finished a game fourth last start and tries the 1900m for the first time. The blinkers come off and he is well weighted. Hard to beat this time. BOM BOM (8) ran a good race when second in the same race as the top pick over 1600m on this course last time out. He steps up to 1900m and if suited to the extra distance on offer, he could go one better. THE MIKADO (2) is better than his last start as he was reported to be coughing. The blinkers have been quickly removed. His only victory came under Serino Moodley and the combination cannot be ignored. FINE ADMIRAL (3) ran on well when winning his last start over 1600m on this course. He is up in trip but will still be building his fitness and can double the dose.
