Hollywoodbets BRIGHT FUTURE OPEN MAIDEN 1400m Track: GOOD Rain (Max: 16) |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Royal Influencer. CHARLIE BUCKET (5) was beaten for early speed but hit the line nicely when a close second over 1400m at this track last time out. Going well and should prove tough to beat again. FERRYMAN (3) has started twice, running a good second on debut then finishing fifth, beaten 2.75 lengths, last time over 1400m at this track. Looks the one to beat on his debut performance. LOVE FROM AFAR (1) is a eight-start maiden who looks close to breaking the duck after finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs, most recently when one length away in second over 1250m at Durbanville. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the lead. One of the main contenders. MONTICELLO (6) is racing well including a last start second over 1600m at Durbanville. Worth including.
