GOING:

TAB 4RACING APP MAIDEN JUVENILE PLATE 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 18)    

The juveniles are expected to go keenly. HIGH FIDELITY (6) made an encouraging debut over 1160m at Turffontein, settling just off the speed before staying on well for third. He should take plenty of benefit from that experience, and with natural improvement expected, looks the one to beat. LUCKY AWESOME (8) finished just behind the top pick in the same race and meets that rival on identical weight terms. There should be little between them again. RAPTOR KING (10) can be forgiven for his latest effort after his saddle slipped during the running. His debut third over 1200m at this track was full of merit, and he remains a horse with upside. CAPTAIN COOLER (1) drops back into maiden company after contesting the Highveld Winter Juvenile Stakes and is capable of showing significant improvement in this grade.
