Durbanville Race 8 - Hollywoodbets Bright Future Class 5 (F & M)
GRAPES OF WRATH (8) First up after a break. Won narrowly by 1/2L last run at this track and putting a tidy record together. Jockey Aldo Domeyer is in top form for this stable. One of the major hopes. CAPTAIN'S ELECT (3) Fought on gamely when winning by 1/2L last run at this venue and promising career start. Expecting to settle positively. Racing consistently since returning from a break. Genuine winning chance. MERRIMENT (5) Fresh after a break. Brave effort to win narrowly last start here. Deserves consideration. MEG'S LEGACY (2) Nice effort when winning by 3/4L last run at this track and can find a nice position from the draw. On an upward trajectory in recent races. Has to be strongly considered.

Resuming after a spell. At $13.00 moderate showing when 13th last start at Scottsville but has a nice advantage with a good barrier. Should be included in your exotics.

Got the cash when winning by 3/4L last run here and has a positive gate. Demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Strong claims in this.

Secured the win by a slim margin last run at this track and good career start. Should muster plenty of early speed. Putting up notable efforts this campaign. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.

Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Jumped at $3.00 and sub-standard effort when 6th last start at Kenilworth. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Brave effort to win narrowly by a nose last time at this venue. Recent form of Robert Barrett is strong. Likely to get back. Remote chance at best.

First run back from a break. Won narrowly last run here and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Aldo Domeyer and Candice Bass are a duo to watch closely. Suited against these.
