4RACING WELCOMES YOU MAIDEN JUVENILE PLATE 1000m Track: GOOD Clouds (Max: 16) |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Good early pressure anticipated with a large number of first starters. TROMPE L'OEIL (7) is a son of Gimmethegreenlight from the Group 3 winner Mirage who makes his debut. Looks a likely type and expected to run well. AU CONTRAIRE (2) is a two-year-old colt by Canford Cliffs out of Un Deux Trois stepping out on debut for the Mike Mathew De Kock stable. Serious contender, particularly if solid in the market. TIME TO FIRE (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 8 lengths when fourth over 1000m at Turffontein Standside two-and-a-half weeks ago. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. MFULATHELA (5) finished 9 lengths away in fifth at his last appearance over 1000m at Turffontein Standside on June 14. Looks to be in the right race to figure in the finish.
