SAF - GREYVILLE AW   16 Jul 2025
 
GOING: N

Hollywoodbets BRIGHT FUTURE CLASS 4 1200m

Track: AW   Clear (Max: 21)    

Expecting a slick tempo with Super Fast, Kumemori and Hippocrates leading the way. GIMMETHEGOODLIFE (2) won a good race in his last start over this distance on the turf. He raced from a handy position that day and kept finding all the way to the line. He is in a good space and has won on this surface previously. Gavin Lerena rides and he can follow up. SUPER FAST (5) has finished second in his last three starts, the latest of which was over this course and distance. He is likely to race on the speed under his 4kg claiming apprentice Damyan Pillay and may be hard to peg back. KUMEMORI (1) returns from a spell. He finished third over this course and distance last time. If not in need of the run, he can run a place. IBHELE (9) raced well below his best last time, finishing eighth over 1000m at Scottsville. Best figures measure up nicely and he should be included in exotic bets.
