Turffontein Race 1 - Welcome To The Hennenman Memorial Juvenile Plate
HEATH HOUSE (1) resumes from a spell of four months that came after he recorded two straight wins to close last campaign. Has won both by a space and unless the first starter is above average will be winning again fresh. SAN FRANCISCO (3) is on debut for the Shaylen Naidoo stable. Two-year-old filly by Erupt from Phillydelphia. Betting holds the key. IRISH WILMA (2) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1000m at Turffontein Inside, beaten 6 lengths into sixth. Expected to be fighting out last.

Unbeaten two for two. Resuming. Not seen since winning to post a big 7 len win. Vaal December 20 over 1000m defeating Custodian with 60kg at $1.50. On debut favourite; to post a big 3.5 len win. This track November 29 over 800m defeating Turn It Up carrying 60kg at $2.70. Ultra impressive at both starts before a spell. Should have plenty on these.

Raced twice to date. At debut, 5th of 9 at Vaal on January 29 over 1000m, 8 len behind Secretary Bird with 60kg at $8.50. Second-up 6th of 8 at Turffontein Inside on February 26 over 1000m, 6 len behind Queen Leila with 60kg at $7.50. Hard to find many positives.
