Durbanville Race 8 - Hollywoodbets Bright Future C Stakes

UNITED FRONT (4) has the strongest case after a long-neck third behind Cedar Point at this track, and that followed a win at this venue when he beat Loving Prague. His record at this track and distance is a major asset, with two wins and a placing from three attempts, and he has already beaten three of the other leading chances previously. DEVIL A SAINT (1) is the main danger, coming off a half-length second as a well-supported favourite and holding a reliable 1400m profile. DIAMOND BARON (9) improved sharply when fourth at big odds last time and appeals third-up with Richard Fourie taking over. JET A ONE (11) brings winning form after scoring from Landseer and gets weight relief, though the draw makes his task less straightforward.

Comments

Went close at this track last start when second in a Benchmark 70 over 1600m, beaten half a length by Scottish Links as the well-supported favourite. The start prior he was fourth behind United Front, beaten just over two lengths, and he remains highly consistent with one win and eight places from 14 runs in the past 12 months. Barrier one and the claim suit his forward pattern, keeping him right in the winning argument.

Comments

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign in plain form, finishing last at this track in a Benchmark 82 when beaten eight and a half lengths. He had also been second last at Kenilworth, beaten over 11 lengths at long odds, so the recent race evidence is thin. The blinkers go on and he has won at this distance before, but he will have to lift sharply to trouble these fresh.

Comments

Produced a more respectable fifth at this track last start, beaten two and a half lengths by Cedar Point at long odds, but that followed a second-last at Kenilworth where he was beaten over 16 lengths. He is a previous winner around 1400m and the class drop helps, yet he was beaten by United Front and Diamond Baron recently. A stronger finish is required before he becomes a serious threat.

Backed up his win at this track with a long-neck third behind Cedar Point last start, and that form reads well for this. The run prior he beat Loving Prague at this venue after firming from opening levels, so his current campaign has genuine substance. Two wins and a placing from three starts at this track and distance is the decisive point, and he profiles as the horse they have to beat.

Returns off a six-week freshening after a fair seventh in an FM Benchmark 82 over 1600m at this track, beaten four and a half lengths without a clear excuse. Her previous run was much stronger when beaten a nose in an FM Benchmark 70, and she has a win and three placings from eight starts around 1400m. The extra weight asks something, but her best recent effort keeps her in the placing mix.

Comments

Returns off a five-week freshening after winning first-up in a MPLTE at this track, beating Big City Roller by just under a length with market support. He gets 3kg weight relief from that run and remains lightly raced with one win and one placing from three starts overall. The profile has upside, but he is still learning his craft and must show that maiden-style win stacks up against more seasoned opposition.

Comments

Was well beaten at this track last start, finishing last behind Cedar Point by over 16 lengths at long odds. His prior fifth in a Benchmark 82 was more competitive, beaten just over two lengths, but he has been unplaced in two runs at this venue and is still winless from 11 starts around 1400m. The claim and third-up fitness help, though others bring stronger recent figures.

Comments

Was only beaten just under two lengths when sixth behind Gold Dust at this track last start, but he was easing in an open market and could not repeat his previous win. That earlier Benchmark 70 success was decisive, scoring by four and a half lengths from Paratrooper. His record with Dezahn Louw is strong, yet he has to bounce back from a softer last-start result to threaten the main hopes.

Comments

Improved noticeably third-up when fourth behind Cedar Point at this track, beaten just over two lengths despite being unwanted in the market. The run prior was much too plain when last behind United Front and beaten over 11 lengths, but he is lightly raced and has one win from four starts in the past 12 months. With Richard Fourie aboard, he has enough upside to make a genuine winning bid.

Comments

Returns off a five-week freshening in consistent form, having run second to Kelp Forest at this track when beaten a length after being backed into very short odds-on territory. He was also favourite when third behind Lyrical Gangster at Kenilworth two back, so the market has kept finding him. The new 1400m is the genuine query, but his 82% career place rate keeps him a realistic minor hope.

Won at this track last start, beating Landseer by just over a length as a well-supported favourite after firming. The start prior he was fifth behind United Front, beaten two and a half lengths, so he still has a line to turn around against the top pick. Weight relief is a plus and he has won around 1400m, but barrier 11 leaves him more a solid place prospect than a clear winning play.
