That’s what he was here two years ago when he beat Coko Beach the length of the straight and it’s taken us a little while to get back to that.

He’d a lovely run here the last day and he made a couple of novicey mistakes. He learned from that today.

it's been hit and miss all season with him and he's been ready since last November but the ground hasn't been right. We always liked him, he won a four-year-old bumper here and won it easy. He's done that nicely today and I think he'll come on a lot from it. Hopefully the ground stays soft for a while now and he's definitely entitled to go and run in a nice novice somewhere. He was quick over his hurdles early on and I thought he was good and quick even when he was a little bit guessy. He was low, he wasn't too high or anything and I'd be happy with him. Next season he's going to be grand as well and I'd say there are plenty of races to be won with him. We might go two-mile-six the next day with him.
