From the same family as Deputy Chief, a winner over 1m; should be on the premises as some good aspects to his profile and could be a speedy type on breeding.

Related to multiple race winner Lighthearted (5f-7f); S G Tarry team does well at Turffontein with debutants; can be in the mix with signs of encouragement in profile - form of her stable is an obvious plus.

Verdict

A fairly open heat. Kovil certainly isn't out of it while Fascinator has to be seriously considered. However, IMYOURHUCKLEBERRY may prove the pick. He lacks experience but makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and he looks the pick of the debutants.
