SAF - GREYVILLE   05 Dec 2025
 
GOING: G

Hollywoodbets Bright Future CLASS 5 1600m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 27)    

Genuine tempo from Mystique Rouge leading De Vlugge. SAINT BRIGID (2) is best at the mile and ran on hard to finish a close-up third here last time. Meets the winner worse at the weights but the trade off is the senior rider going aboard and looks hard to hold out again. DE VLUGGE (4) beat Saint Brigid last time and is better off at the weights. Going well and expected to go close again. PINK DIAMOND (10) split that pair and finished runner-up and meets the winner better at the weights. Has to be included again. GOLDEN ANGEL (9) has been racing well including a last start win. First try here but claim helps and has top prospects.
