Scottsville Race 10 - Hollywoodbets Bright Future Class 4 (F & M)
VICTORY IN ORLEANS (2) has switched yards since finishing third five weeks ago over 1160m at Turffontein Standside. Rates highly here on last run and looks a winning chance for the new barn. DECEMBER DAWN (1) lines up on the back of a 4 length fourth over 1250m at Durbanville. Well placed and should be tough to beat. MIDNIGHT LADY (7) resumes after a break of 12 weeks. Did win at her only other first-up run when on debut, scoring over 1250m at Durbanville. Makes plenty of appeal. CELESTIAL DIAMOND (8) returns after a spell of seven months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1200m at this track. Sure to make her presence felt.

Racing well recently. Comes off a 39 day let-up. Last start 4th in a small field at Durbanville on March 18 over 1250m, 4 len behind Music Of The Night with 56.1kg at $4.50. The run before that 3rd of 8 at Durbanville on February 14 over 1000m, 2.75 len behind Caribbean Gold with 60kg at $6. Can make amends for a modest effort last time.
