4RACING WELCOMES YOU MAIDEN JUVENILE PLATE 1200m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 24)    

Many of these two-year-olds step out for the first time so a strong pace is anticipated. NORTHUMBERLAND (10) will find this a little easier than his third on debut two weeks ago, beaten 2.75 lengths at the end of 1200m at this track. Likely improver so he will prove tough to beat. RAPTOR KING (11) is a nicely bred two-year-old colt on debut. By New Predator from Imperial Wish who has produced some fine gallopers, including winners at black type level. SANDS OF VALHALLA (12) is a two-year-old colt on debut by Erik The Red from Circle In The Sand who has produced one to win at G1 level. ENDEARING PEACE (6) turned in a moderate debut over 1000m at this track on April 2 when he was safely held in tenth, 13 lengths from the winner. Plenty of scope for improvement and extra trip suits. Can feature in the finish.
