Greyville Race 9 - Hollywoodbets Bright Future Class 4
DRICUS (6) Competitive effort when 2nd last start at this track and carrying less weight this time. First start for a new trainer. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. RED DAWN (4) Handy enough when winning by 1L last run around here and will benefit with the weight drop. Expect to go close. DAPPER (9) Handy enough when winning by 3/4L last run at this track and gets a reduction in weight. Should come to hand quickly. Can measure up to this company. WAR EMPEROR (14) Underperformed when 5th last start here but dropping weight. Won't be far away.

Resumed with a fifth in Open company over 1400m at this track, beaten just over four lengths at long odds. That was an improvement on his previous last placing in a Benchmark 82, but he has been unplaced from five starts in the past 12 months. The class drop and 4kg claim help, while his lone try around 1600m produced no placing. He will have to lift sharply to threaten the main chances.

Has finished seventh at both runs this campaign, most recently beaten three and a half lengths in a Benchmark 82 at Scottsville when sent out at big odds. He was also unwanted two back on the all-weather, and the past-year record shows seven unplaced runs. Five placings from eight tries around 1600m offer some hope, but recent form leaves him with plenty to find.

Won a Benchmark 81 at Scottsville two back, beating Master Bomber by a long neck after firming near the top of the market. He was then fifth in a Benchmark 82, beaten just over three lengths on yielding ground, so the form has held together without being dominant. Proven around 1600m with two wins and four placings, and the class drop keeps him high among the winning hopes.

Comes off the strongest last-start result in the field, winning an Open over 1600m at this track as favourite and beating Twocantango by just over a length on yielding ground. He had earlier been competitive in Benchmark 82 grade at Kenilworth, and now gets weight relief from 60kg to 56.5kg. Already proven at this venue and distance, with first-time blinkers adding further interest, he sets the standard.

Finished sixth first-up in Open company at this track, beaten eight and a half lengths at long odds, and that followed a last placing on the all-weather when beaten over 11 lengths. His record does include a win at this track and a win around 1600m, so the setup is not without merit. Even so, the recent margins are too plain to ignore and he must improve sharply.

Returns after two months off following a second on the Greyville all-weather, beaten just under four lengths in Open company. He won a Benchmark 82 at Scottsville the run prior and his overall record of three wins and four placings from 12 starts reads well. Weight relief helps second-up, though his only previous try around 1600m missed a placing, so he profiles as a solid place chance.

Went close last start when second in a Benchmark 82 over 1400m on the all-weather, beaten a length and a half after attracting support. His prior fourth in Open grade at Scottsville was also sound, beaten just under three lengths. He has won around 1600m and gets an apprentice claim here, so a repeat of recent efforts can have him in the minor money.

Was safely held last start when sixth in a Benchmark 82 on the all-weather, beaten just over eight lengths, which followed a better Open fifth at Scottsville when only just over two lengths away. His record at this track is a positive, with a win and two placings from three attempts, and he has handled weight previously. A return to the prior run would put him in the place mix.

Returns from a one-month freshening after winning first-up in a Benchmark 70 on the all-weather, scoring by just under a length as a heavily backed favourite. He carries 3.5kg less here and Richard Fourie takes the ride, while his 1600m record shows a win and two placings from eight. This is a stronger test, but he comes in with confidence and has the profile to run well again.

Has not quite gone on with it at his past two, finishing fifth in Open company over 1400m as favourite before an eighth in a Benchmark 82 over 1200m. The class drop and 53kg are important positives, and he is race fit fourth-up. The first attempt around 1600m is the main question, but his lighter weight and stronger ratings keep him among the key winning chances.

Back after five weeks since finishing sixth in Open company at this track, beaten just under six lengths despite firming from a bigger opening quote. He had won a Benchmark 70 on the all-weather the run prior and is proven around 1600m, with one win and two placings from five tries. The class drop and weight relief are useful, but last start leaves him with work to do.

Returns from a three-month break after ending last campaign with a sixth in Benchmark 84 company at Turffontein Standside, beaten just over six lengths. He had been third in a Benchmark 88 the run prior at big odds, so there is some prior depth. A track-and-distance win is a plus, but with 61kg and no recent race run, he looks more of an improvement runner.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing fourth in a Benchmark 82 at Durbanville, beaten two lengths at long odds. That followed a last placing in Open company, and he has been unplaced in all five starts across the past 12 months. First-time blinkers add some interest, but his 1600m record is only one placing from six attempts and the winning case is hard to build.

Was disappointing as favourite last start when fifth in a Benchmark 70 on the all-weather, beaten seven and a half lengths. His previous fourth in a CUP at Scottsville was better, beaten two and a half lengths after attracting support. The drop to 53.5kg and solid turf record give him some claims, but he has to turn around the latest run to land a placing.

Ran fourth in a Benchmark 82 at Scottsville last start, beaten a length and a half after firming from bigger odds. That was a much sharper reference than his previous eighth over 1800m at this venue on soft ground. His track-and-distance record is the key asset, with three wins and four placings from eleven starts, so he is a credible place chance if holding that form.
