Greyville Race 9 - Hollywoodbets Bright Future Class 4 (F & M)
HODGEPODGE (1) got up late when winning her last start over 2000m on this course. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. She has won twice and finished second twice from as many starts on this course. She jumps from pole position once again and can follow up with another victory. SONATA SAMARITAN (5) stayed on strongly when fourth over 1600m on this course last time. She is back against her own sex and merits healthy respect. AMONG THE CLOUDS (2) has been disappointing in her last two starts. She has finished second three times and third twice from as many starts over this distance. She has dropped in the ratings and from her good draw of two, she can find a form return. PLUM PUDDING (4) returns from spell which may have done her the world of good. She has won once, finished second twice and third once from seven starts over this distance. If not in need of the run, she should be fighting out the finish.

Useful filly. Comes here off a 42-day let-up. Most recently favourite; won by a neck at this track March 7 over 2000m defeating Sascha's Dream carrying 57.5kg at $3.50. The race before that 3rd of 10 at Scottsville on February 9 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind Tomyris with 57kg at $3. Big chance to go back-to-back.

Going well. At the latest run 4th of 10 at this track on March 23 over 1600m, 1.0 len behind World Of Our Own carrying 56.5kg at $11. The start before that 4th of 14 at Scottsville on March 9 over 1600m, 3 len behind Jeanne Darc with 57.5kg at $8. Can improve on that reasonable effort last time out.
