Kenilworth Race 9 - Hollywoodbets Bright Future Maiden Plate
CHANCE ENCOUNTER (3) is overdue with three solid runs this time in. Excellent winning chance with the help of an inside draw. MERCENARY (10) is a progressive colt stepping out in journey. Has big upside and capable of a strong showing. PERFECT IMPACT (13) is another overdue. Narrowly missed last start and is a top chance again. CHARLIE BUCKET (1) resumed with a nice return when placed over 1400m. Has three career placings from five runs and all three are here. Fitter again and looks a strong winning chance.
