Kenilworth Race 9 - Hollywoodbets Bright Future Open Maiden
CHARLIE BUCKET (5) was beaten for early speed but hit the line nicely when a close second over 1400m at this track last time out. Going well and should prove tough to beat again. FERRYMAN (3) has started twice, running a good second on debut then finishing fifth, beaten 2.75 lengths, last time over 1400m at this track. Looks the one to beat on his debut performance. LOVE FROM AFAR (1) is a eight-start maiden who looks close to breaking the duck after finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs, most recently when one length away in second over 1250m at Durbanville. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the lead. One of the main contenders. MONTICELLO (6) is racing well including a last start second over 1600m at Durbanville. Worth including.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 2nd of 11 at this track on March 30 over 1400m, head behind Super Viking carrying 60kg at $6. The run before that 2nd of 11 at this track on February 22 over 1400m, 1.0 len behind Greenchoice carrying 60kg at $6. Rates highly after a strong run last time. Overdue and gets chance.
