Turffontein Race 1 - Welcome To The Hennenman Memorial Juvenile Plate
HEATH HOUSE (1) First up from a spell. Spaced the field to win by a margin of 7L last start at Vaal. Expecting to settle positively. This race looks suitable and is hard to overlook. SAN FRANCISCO (3) 3yo first starter sired by Erupt for trainer Shaylen Naidoo and drawn nicely. Watch the betting. IRISH WILMA (2) Well beaten when 6th last run at the track but gets a favourable draw. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Gets some weight relief. Can run into the money.

First up after a break. Made no mistakes when winning by a margin of 7L last start at Vaal. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Will take plenty of catching.

At $6.50 disappointing run when 6th last run here but drawn the rails. Likely to settle back in the field. Carrying less weight this time. Better to look elsewhere.

3yo debutant sired by Erupt for trainer Shaylen Naidoo and can find a nice position from the draw. Follow the money.
