firmly back on track this year after an underwhelming 3-y-o campaign, ran at least as well as last time to win for the second time since joining this yard; chased leader, produced to lead over 1f out, always holding on, got first run; is reportedly being aimed at the Caulfield Cup.

ran well on first outing since leaving Aidan O'Brien, and may even have won had he not briefly lugged in behind the winner 1f out, doing his best work late on at what seems a barely adequate test these days; mid-division, ridden early in straight, hung left 1f out, finished well; is now qualified for the Melbourne Cup and certainly has the right sort of profile for that race.
