if Viva Pataca settles into Australia well and handles our race tracks I feel he will win the race I just have the feeling he is a class above the horses we have right now the only reason you are seeing double figures about him is that he has to aclimatise. Of the Australian horses I only have a couple at this point that i don't mind for the race and they are Pompeii Ruler who I feel is almost fool proof the fact he can take a forward position helps him no end here, the other is Marasco however I have a feeling he will always have trouble beating Pompeii Ruler on this track.

Viva Pataca is the one they all have to beat IMO.
