GOING: GS

HOLLYWOOODBETS BRIGHT FUTURE CLASS 4 1600m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 13)    

Bardolino to set a strong early tempo booting up inside Radicchio and My Bestie. AZZURRI (9) may not have seen out the 1800m last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. He takes a drop in class and will love the return to the mile. It is encouraging that Grant van Niekerk retains the ride and he may be the one to side with. MY BESTIE (3) has shown signs of a form return in his last three starts. He is ideally suited to the wet going and can figure in the finish with conditions to suit. RADICCHIO (2) finished a solid fourth last start and has had a freshen-up since then which would have done him no harm. Stick with him, especially if the money is there. He jumps from a good draw and if not in need of the run, he should go close. FLY FUTURA (12) has good consistent form lines to his credit. He likes it here and even though he is drawn widest of all, he gets the services of Aldo Domeyer which is always an advantage. Each way value.
