Out to the mile - wins by 6.5, could have easily been more if Nolen wanted so... Hasnt he found another 40 gears this prep.. How far can he get and what will he be aimed at? I told a few yesterday he was G1 quality so I'll definitely stand by that  |

Mid July now, I imagine it might be a bit of a dilemma about what to do with him now to maximise his chances if they're thinking about the Spring.

Yeah that was my thinking Wenona, but no doubt Moody's gonna put him away right now and line up something in the spring. Wherever he goes I'll keep following  |

Impressive win. I would think he would be a threat in the Emirates, but would like to see him on a dry track against quality opposition. 2nd horse Pinnacles was a good run under the weight - he ran a place in a big Randwick mile so I suppose it franks the class a little.

PP, trust me its no worries the dry. Just handles the wet well too - very versatile horse, and that includes racing patterns - you saw him the other day sit right outside the leader and give him windburn, and you saw him today ping out and take a sit back 5th.

I'm a fan. Quinella paid well  Unfortunately I had 5 horses running for 3rd in the trifecta - best was O'Reilleys Clock  |

So he'll be racing in a Group 1 in November, having been up since May 9th with just a let up in that six months.
It's probably worth a punt, but it's far from ideal.

Dear All, If he wins a G1 by the end of the year I'll donate $100 to the charity of your choice. But of course you'd need to donate $100 to mine. I'm happy to negotiate some conditions.  But I am serious if anyone wants to take me up. Good horse no question. |

1 month break into one of those 7 furlong WFA races at Caulfield, then decide whether to go Rupert Clark then Toorak or have a look at the quality in Sydney and maybe think about Epsom, or a longer break into the 7 furlong race on Caulfield Cup day into the Emirates.
At least up to Group 1 down in the weights in at Handicap level.
