HAVOCK displayed a fair level of ability on the first 2 of his 3 bumper runs and starts over hurdles in a decidedly ordinary event, so he receives the vote. What A Johnny was placed on both his completed starts in points and warrants respect having joined a top outfit, while the selection's stablemate Hot Fizzy Lizzy shouldn't be overlooked, either.
