Turffontein Race 1

Welcome To The Hennenman Memorial Juvenile Plate (Fillies)

Prize Money: $11,780

LITTLEMISSSPLENDID (1) made the expected natural improvement when winning her last start over this trip. She raced from just off the pace, quickened up well, and drew off in the closing stages. She is the only winner in this contest, and she can win again. BACK FROM WAR (2) is better than her last start in the Listed Wilgerbosdrift Ruffian Stakes as she was reported to have choked up. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. If finding the form of her penultimate run, she may be the one to fill the exacta spot. JINGLEBERRY (5) is an unraced daughter of Gimmethegreenlight from the Mike and Mathew de Kock stable with Gavin Lerena up. She is well related and should start her career on a positive note. The betting market will be the best guide with regard to her chances. RED CARAMEL (7) has fair form lines to her name. She shows good speed and may be hard to peg back at the finish

Raced two times to date. At long odds at debut, 3rd of 8 at this track on March 8 over 1160m, 5 len behind King Harald with 57kg at $26. Second-up favourite; won by 2 len at this track March 22 over 1160m defeating Scarlett Heart carrying 60kg at $3.80. Going well enough to take this out.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield

Last start 2nd in a small field at Turffontein Inside on March 27 over 1000m, 6 len behind Malibu carrying 60kg at $3.50. The run before that 3rd of 9 at Vaal on March 6 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Clairwood Rose carrying 60kg at $21. Comes into this in ordinary form. Can't enthuse.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
