Produced an excellent debut effort when finishing second, narrowly ahead of Ashikule at the line, despite being caught three-wide early in the uphill section. The manner in which he finished was particularly impressive, making up approximately two lengths on Ashikule over the final 600m. Clocked the best corrected timings in that race over the last 1200m, 1000m, 800m, 600m and 400m — a strong indication of its finishing ability. Tops the list on CFG Rating, Speed Rating and Time Factor. Drawn ideally in gate 1 this time and should secure a much more prominent position in running. The horse to beat.
