GOING: G

Hollywoodbets BRIGHT FUTURE OPEN MAIDEN 2000m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 22)    

Beautiful Side should be able to comfortably find the front. SIGNOR DANTE (11) should have finished closer to the winner last time as he cast a shoe in the running. He returns from a 15-week spell during which time he would have strengthened up. He is the stable elect with Luyolo Mxothwa in the saddle and with a bit of luck in the running, he should go close. RARE EARTH (2) has shown good improvement in each of her outings to date. If Craig Zackey is able to switch her off early, she should give the males a decent run for their money. BEAUTIFUL SIDE (3) should have no issues with the rise to 2000m and in this field rates well as an each-way chance. NARETOI (5) was not disgraced when third against winners over 1800m last time. The blinkers and tongue-tie seem to have done the trick. Well worth including in exotic bets.
