The main reason I liked the horse was in it's only run over 2400m it was beaten 1.3 lengths by Xcellent in the NZ Derby I felt that was good enough form for me and breeding wise he should have been able to stay a bit being by Ebony Grovse throw into that Craig Williams riding from a good gate and he was probably exceptional odds.

I wouldn't rule him out as a light weight chance in the Melbourne Cup now not sure what weight he has but that was pretty impressive the way he let down on the bend today.
