Race 8 – 16:40
1400m – Hollywoodbets Bright Future MR 68 Handicap
11 – Lou Lou The Legend
Breeding: Ideal World (USA) – Imperial Empress by Toreador (IRE)
Trainer: Dean Kannemeyer
Jockey: Keagan de Melo
Wgt: 57.5kg
Draw: 11 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
He won a good race when shedding his maiden tag over 1600m last time and has been gelded since. The first run in a handicap is always difficult and he is expected to be in need of this outing. A positive effort is expected, but this outing will bring him on for future races.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 11 wks. Gelded 2022.10.31. Has been gelded since maiden win. May need this run, but can place.
