4RACING WELCOMES YOU JUVENILE PLATE 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 17)    

Abundant pace from Open Sesame, Bright And Brazen and Hawksdale vying for the lead with Princess Keira on their backs. ALTA CAPITANA (1) won on debut here over 1160m two runs back, then last start raced from a handy position last time out in a Stakes event and tried hard all the way to the line. She has plenty of scope and she may be the one to side with. PRINCESS KEIRA (7) caused an upset when winning the race that the above selection raced in last start. Rates well as an each-way chance. EIGHT HATS (3) is better than her last start run would suggest. She won here two runs back and racing over a longer trop looks well placed to return to form. HAWKSDALE (8) raced on the speed to the turn as the odds-on favourite and finished second last start over 1000m at Turffontein Inside in what was her second run this prep. Racing in a fitter state can atone.

Raced two times to date. At very big odds at debut, 3rd in a small field at this track on May 11 over 1160m, 1.75 len behind Eight Hats carrying 57kg at $101. Last start won by a long-neck at Scottsville May 31 over 1100m defeating That'll B The Day carrying 57.5kg at $4. Can't recommend.
