First rules outing for this two-year-old son of Chimichuri Run; interesting to see how he figures in the betting.

Attempting to open his account at the fourth time of asking; tailed off over 7f here (maiden juvenile plate) in May; others have more pressing claims.

Early foal; yard is operating at a respectable strike-rate; first start for this son of Chimichuri Run; not one you could be confident about given his lack of experience with the betting likely to be a guide.

There's hope from the sire that he has some ability; related to I Salute You, winning form over 6f-1m½f; he's worth a go with signs of encouragement in profile and his sire suggests the distance might suit.

Draw looks a potential positive; early foal; sire has produced plenty of sprint winners; bred to get better as he gets older; already gelded.

Shares a dam with Magical Sky, a 5f winner; definitely of interest as some good aspects to his profile and there is speed in the pedigree.

Verdict
Firm preference is for MOCHA MAGIC. He is a likely-looking newcomer that may be equal to the challenge. Captain Cooper poses a threat while Red Viking is a newcomer with an attractive pedigree, and Tenareef should be in the hunt.
