Draw: 4 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
He is in good consistent form and seems to be handling his tests well off that rating of 82. Having picked up both of his wins over this course and distance, he appears to be in the right company here to be one of the leading contenders at the business end. The blinkers go on this time around and hopefully that will get him to travel a little better in the early parts of his race. With that in mind, he should have another very good each-way chance.
Winning Form Comment: Blinkers ON. Best MR:82. Good last two runs. Blinker strike. Merits healthy respect.
Race 8 – 16:33
1400m – Hollywoodbets Bright Future Merit Rated 75 Hcp (F&M)
2 – Purple Nkanyezi
Breeding: Oratorio (IRE) x Bois De Boulogne by Trippi (USA)
Trainer: Garth Puller
Jockey: Raymond Danielson
Wgt: 57.5kg
Draw: 2 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 20/1
She is doing well at home and her work has been good leading into this event. She has dropped another 4-points in the ratings and from a useful draw she should be ready to start earning again, after showing some disappointing form since that unfortunate incident in-running four starts back.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:88. Needed latest. Well-drawn and has upset potential.
