GOING:

Hollywoodbets BRIGHT FUTURE MAIDEN PLATE 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 24)    

A race that lacks early pressure. HOMING PIGEON (11) is close to a win after a string of recent placings, the latest when third over 1800m at this track. Placed last five runs including 2/3 here. Overdue and will go close again. THELEIA (5) raced on the speed and was game in defeat when a close second last start over 1400m at this track at long odds. Has registered two minor placings from four runs this preparation. Should be prominent again. MEGHAN'S DIAMOND (8) finished third last start over 1250m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. Won't find this as tough so she is likely to play a big role. VIVO PER LEI (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at Kenilworth. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
