GOING:

Hollywoodbets BRIGHT FUTURE CLASS 4 1000m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 23)    

Cracking tempo looks assured with many of these capable of pushing on early. BLACK CHEETAH (12) returns from a spell. He is a horse with class about him and fresh-up should be too good for his older rivals. RAFA'S BOY (8) was an easy winner of his last start over this course and distance. He showed good speed, found another kick and won with plenty left in the tank. Well placed to go back-to-back. IBHELE (9) stayed on well when fourth over this distance on the polytrack last time out. Has each-way claims. MAR DEL PLATA (10) in what was his second run last start ran home strongly from last at the turn to finish a close-up fourth of 12 over 1200m at this track. Racing fitter is well worth considering.
