TAB TELEBET 0861 000 822 JUVENILE PLATE 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 16)    

Expecting the youngsters to go keenly from barrier rise. LEGEND OF ARTHUR (1) is a promising colt who is resuming from a spell. Won twice from three starts last prep, including last time out when scoring as the odds-on favourite. Should prove hard to beat. ZANTHAR (8) resumes from a spell following a last start of second of seven at this track last start. Fresh-up with Richard Fourie in the saddle rates highly. MOUNT PINATUBO (3) was well supported last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 2.5 lengths at Greyville over 1400m. Looks well placed here to atone. SKITTLES SKIES (7) was in the money on debut before finishing fourth last time out over 1200m at Vaal when well fancied. Include in exotic bets
