BIG HEART may be able to take a small step towards justifying her price tag by overcoming the challenges of Passkey amongst others. Jeremy Noseda's filly is a half-sister to Habaayib and changed hands for 540,000 guineas as a two year old. Neither of those facts are any guarantee of success on the racetrack for her belated debut but she certainly looks the part on paper. Passkey sets the standard for those with experience although she is only rated 3lbs higher than Mustakmil. The Heath House runner is better than she was able to show at Hamilton when last in action and should go close to shedding her maiden tag. Mustakmil hasn't been beaten far on any of his last four starts and has a decent chance of finishing in the money again if he can prove as effective on this surface. Peponi is worth a cursory glance in the market on debut and the betting should also provide a guide to the chances of our selection Big Heart.
