SAF - GREYVILLE   31 Oct 2025
 
GOING:

Hollywoodbets BRIGHT FUTURE CLASS 4 1200m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 28)    

Expecting Fascination to take up the running with Thingamabob and Moving In close at hand. QUEEN BRAGANZA (2) was in the market on debut and after settling second last powered home and cleared out to score an impressive win. Has good upside and expected to go close again. ARE YOU SURE (6) stepped up to 1200m latest and just missed, finishing a close-up third. Hit the line hard and expected to be doing the same again. ICY LANCASTER (4) was fourth in the same race as Are You Sure finishing alongside her. Better run and in the mix again. THINGAMABOB (7) resumed over 1100m and led throughout for a determined win. Fitter and will give a sight again.
