Contact Point is now a 6 year old and it is unlikely that he will regain his pre-injury form. I remember his performance at Randwick over 2,400m on 8 February 2003 where he showed astonishing acceleration, coming wide around the turn, gathering the leaders in easily and then blowing away a restricted grade field by over 4 lengths with Chris Munce on for Gai Waterhouse. At that stage he looked like a star stayer in the making. His last five runs in Perth, however, are around 10 lengths short of Group 2 company and he has no hope on Wednesday.
