Greyville Race 9

Hollywoodbets Bright Future Class 3

Stake: $15,358

FUTURE FLO (5) is a winner of his last two starts, the latest of which was over 1000m at Scottsville. He raced from just off the pace, moved up well and kept finding all the way to the line. He has won once and finished third five times from seven starts over this distance. He is in a good space and can bring up the hat-trick. RICH FOLKS HOAX (2) stayed on well when third over 1600m at Durbanville last time. He is at his best over further and will be mowing down the frontrunners. KING OF SPIN (11) won a game race in his last start over 1400m on the polytrack. With a bit of luck in the running after jumping from a wide draw can go back-to-back. VIHAAN'S WEB (12) is a progressive three-year-old gelding who resumes from a spell, his last appearance being a win over 1200m at Scottsville. Likely to push forward and race on the speed. Has solid each-way claims.

At the latest run second last of 12 at this track on March 23 over 1000m, 5.5 len behind Mojo Man carrying 61.5kg at $6.50. The start before that 8th of 14 at Scottsville on February 2 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Smorgasbord with 57.5kg at $11. Has a nice gate but this will test.

Second-up. First-up after two months won by a long-neck at Scottsville March 9 over 1000m defeating Wissa's On Fire carrying 64kg at $5.50. Previously second-up won by 2 len at Greyville All Weather November 1 over 1200m defeating Knight Warrior with 58.5kg at $3.80. Hard to fault on current form. Improver with winning prospects.

Useful type. Most recently 4th in a small field at Scottsville on March 9 over 1200m, 2 len behind Convocation carrying 58.5kg at $8.50. The run before that 9th of 14 at Scottsville on February 2 over 1000m, 4.5 len behind Smorgasbord carrying 58.5kg at $3.50. Sure to be about the money.
