Hollywoodbets BRIGHT FUTURE CLASS 5 1600m Track: GOOD Rain (Max: 20) |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Abundant pace from Devil A Saint, Fort Yukon and Warrior Of Destiny vying for the lead with Havoc on their backs. SCOTTISH LINKS (1) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 1950m at Kenilworth four months ago. Long time since a win but spent last campaign in open class. Well placed this easier grade and could prove too smart for these. DEVIL A SAINT (4) gets out over more ground today on the back of some solid form of late, the most recent effort a fourth over 1400m at this track. Drawn to go forward. Best form puts him right in this. BALZI ROSSI (2) was in the firing line on the bend and finished second last time over 1800m at Kenilworth, beaten 2 lengths. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. FORT YUKON (8) turned in a solid run last time when he boxed on to finish third at this track. Suited at the longer journey now and can figure in the outcome.
