Best form has come when allowed to find his rhythm early before quickening and sustaining a strong run at them late. He has the turn-of-foot to make up ground off STEADY tempos.

He’s a gentle giant but he’s got so much ability. I don’t think they’ve got to the bottom of him, I think he’ll be better next preparation.

Talented import that has been only a few lengths away in some of the strongest 2000m to 2400m races in Europe, but his form did taper off in 2022 before coming to Australia. Capable of getting near pace and he fights hard when in form.

Big mare that has matured into a very high class galloper. Tends to be slow early before producing a strong finish. Suited around 2000m.
