GOING:

4RACING WELCOMES YOU JUVENILE PLATE 1200m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 22)    

Volcanic Heat, Drachenfutter and Be The One to battle for the lead at a strong tempo. Very good race. VOLCANIC HEAT (1) won first two then solid runs in stakes class last two. Freshened since finishing fourth the Grade 2 Fillies' Nursery last time. Huge class drop and expected to go close. THE BACHELORETTE (9) was heavily bet and ran on well to just miss in high rating debut. Has upside and expected to measure up. QUEEN LEILA (4) went very well at first three starts include g a win then last three have all been in much tougher company. Well worth another chance. NO DRAMA (3) tackled tougher grade last time. Has the ability to be in the finish.
