XENOPHON is an unraced son of Vercingetorix from the Sean Tarry stable with Richard Fourie booked to ride. He is related to multiple winners including Dreamland and Dreamworld. If not in need of this outing, he should start his career on a positive note. The betting market will be the best guide with regards to his chances. SOHO HEARTTHROB produced a promising debut effort over 1200m at the Vaal. He took the lead at the 200m mark before getting caught late by War Of Kingdoms who has come out and won again since. The son of Gimmethegreenlight would have come on from the run and with the natural improvement that is expected, he can go one better. LAVA COUNTY showed speed over 1200m last time, but found one too good in the form of Tin Pan Alley. The son of Erupt is a progressive type and may have more to come. PALACE ATTACK is a son of Potala Palace from the Alec Laird stable with Calvin Habib doing duty. He is related to Grade 1 winner Fire Attack. If not too green, he should give a good account of himself.
