GOING:

Hollywoodbets BRIGHT FUTURE C STAKES 1000m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 20)    

Intrepid, Chara Sands and Rafa's Boy to battle for the lead at a strong tempo. CHARA SANDS (5) won his last start over this distance. He meets a similar line-up here and he can follow up with another victory. RAFA'S BOY (1) has good consistent form lines to his credit. He is likely to race on the speed from pole position and may be hard to peg back. INTREPID (9) ran a fair race over 1200m on the polytrack last time. Five of his six career victories have come over this distance. Claiming apprentice Damyan Pillay takes 4kgs off his back and he may be the horse to cause the upset. CATAVAR (4) was in the money last start when second at Greyville All Weather over 1000m. Expected to be in the mix.
