GOING:

Hollywoodbets BRIGHT FUTURE D STAKES 1600m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 13)    

Expecting a strong pace headed by Fort Usher, Gardener's Pride and Splash Of Love. SPLASH OF LOVE (2) just missed last time out when second at this track over 1500m, beaten a head. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and four minor placings from six starts. Expected to feature. DOUBLE OLYMPIC (4) was in the money two starts back at Greyville All Weather but was unable to repeat the effort last time when sixth, beaten 2.25 lengths, at Greyville All Weather over 1800m. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. CHRISTMAS ROSE (13) joins forces with Chad Little again after they combined to salute last time out over 1600m at this track. Nice weight drop this time around. Is going well this campaign, recording a win and a minor placing from three starts. Looks one of the prime contenders. RUN TO RIO (16) hasn't been too far away of late, the latest effort a fourth, beaten 1.5 lengths, at Greyville All Weather over 1400m. Should park just off the speed. One of the better hopes.
