Was out at Ascot when Marasco ran 5th in the Aquanita Stakes (Feb). From barrier 16 Ikenushi settled him last. He rattled home to finish a couple of lengths behind the winner Scenic Shot. Only Scenic Shot ran a faster last 600. That was only his 3rd race start whilst Scenic Shot was having start 13. Marasco is undefeated since.

As to a comparison to Northerly, way too early, but he is obviously above average (at the very least)
