#YOUCANBETONUS! JUVENILE PLATE 1600m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 16)    

Anticipating a solid tempo over the mile. ZALATORIS (6) stayed on nicely when fifth in the Grade 1 Gold Medallion last time. He should love the rise to 1600m. Gavin Lerena is booked to ride and he should be too good for this field. READ ALL ABOUT IT (3) should have finished closer to the winner last time. The son of Hawwaam should have no issues with the rise to 1600m and he rates well as a leading chance. GOLDEN WARRIOR (1) was an easy winner of his last start over this distance on the Standside course. He takes on much stronger rivals but is in a good space and may be up to the task at hand. TAKE NO PRISONERS (4) was safely held when eighth last start over 1400m at Turffontein Standside. That followed a good win on debut at Turffontein Standside. Faces an easier assignment and has each-way claims.

Was at a huge quote at debut, 9th of 11 at Turffontein Standside on June 3 over 1160m, 21 len behind Jan Van Goyen with 60kg at $126. Didn't quite do enough on debut to raise the hopes.
