SAF - SCOTTSVILLE   23 Apr 2025
 
GOING:

Hollywoodbets BRIGHT FUTURE CLASS 4 1200m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 18)    

Fast pace assured with Getoffofmycloud, Izibulo and Dafnes Daughter leading the charge. MIA'S ATHENA (7) ran an encouraging race in her resuming run last start when finishing fifth of nine over 1000m at this track. She would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. Sean Veale rides and she would not be a shock winner. TARA STAR (9) won by a nose over this distance at Greyville last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. She is in a good space and has to be respected. DAFNES DAUGHTER (10) resumes from a spell which would have done her the world of good. Andrew Fortune rides and having won fresh-up previously is well worth a second look. MISS LADYATERIX (3) scored at long odds fresh-up two runs back at this track but never fired last time out when seventh of 14 over 1200m at Greyville when well supported. Fitter and jumping from an inside draw is worth another chance.
