The Africa House

J: G Lerena

T: S G Tarry

Does not win very often but from a top yard; not beaten far when runner-up at 20-1 with Calantha just behind 34 days ago in a stakes race; if he is able to build on his most recent effort then should not be ruled out.

Close up behind Pressonregardless when sixth in December in a handicap; hard enough to fancy as this looks a decent race.

The Africa House has won over C&D, and Hotarubi and Miss Lia are well drawn and warrant respect. However, CALANTHA is a firm choice. She can't be faulted for consistency and is a two-time course winner.
