There was a stage mid race where CIS wanted to go forward ...Jimmy fought him and held him back...would of liked to see what would of happened if he let him slide forward ouside Dance hero ...he is such a fighter that it would of been interesting..
Although CIS hasnt won over this distance ect ect....his regular cruising speed is in the sprint range anyway ...hes a stronger horse than he used to be up here in brissie ..and he wasnt extended at all in the barrier trial....
If Dance Hero wasnt in the race id be all over CIS ..
Personally i think CIS can run 2000m and will be hard to catch around MV come cox plate time ....he'll do a sunline..
should of won the doncaster last year if that Oscar warrior donkey didnt wreck it for him..
He'll win some nice races this year...
