11 – Purple Operator
Breeding: Captain Of All – House Of Lorraine by Dynasty
Trainer: Duncan Howells
Jockey: Diego De Gouveia
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 11 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
He is fit and well in himself and has not been far off at the finish in his last two starts. A drop back in distance to 1400m should suit, but this is a competitive field and he has a wide draw to overcome. He is capable of a first four finish.
Winning Form Comment: Gelded 2021.08.30. Best MR:79. Fair recent form over a mile. Should relish the drop in trip.

Race 8 – 16:33
1200m – Hollywoodbets Bright Future FM 66 Handicap (F & M)
2 – Arctic Princess
Breeding: What A Winter – Rozelana by Al Mufti (USA)
Trainer: Gary Rich
Jockey: S’manga Khumalo
Wgt: 59.0kg
Draw: 2 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
She jumps from a good draw with S’manga Khumalo aboard. Her form is consistent and the 1200m around the turn should suit her. Her stable are expecting another good run.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:75. Was doing best work late last time. Khumalo rides and can go close.

10 – Not Now Pussycat
Breeding: Oratorio (IRE) – Ginger Cat by Black Minnaloushe (USA)
Trainer: Gary Rich
Jockey: *Cole Dicken -1.5kg
Wgt: 56.5kg
Draw: 10 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
This course and distance winner has not run since November and hopefully doesn’t need the run. Her wide draw is a concern, but she is doing well at home and should be involved in the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Three-time C&D winner and recent form has been franked. Chance.
