He still looked pretty green to me as he was playing up in the yard and weir said that he was relaxed at home but always played up at the trials and races . Makes it hard looking at that when you're having a punt . Still he's won every race in oz so far and that's no easy feat . Not many horses string a lot wins together every fortnight . Movie brained them last time at the valley but she was no match for him . I rekon he'll
Probably run well next 2 starts (78-84 class) and then after that he'll really be tested . But he's still only a 3 and a half in real time being northern hemisphere . Just a class above , inter sting to see where his ceiling is .

Anyone game enough to predict how high he can go? Does he have group one potential?

Still hasn't beaten much. But doing it easily. Always difficult to know exactly how good they are in that type of situation.

More often than not they don't measure up but it can be very difficult to get a handle on how good they are this time of the year. Personally I think he could measure up to Listed or G3 level but needs to improve a few lengths to be G1 but that was only his fifth start so he could easily do that.

Pretty good assessment. I'd have to add though if a horse has ability , which this bloke has , they also need a ton of luck and they're a chance in any race . Look at the maiden Famous Shamous, never one s race until he wins the Cox plate . He's no pie eater could win any black type then won 2 group 1s they only black type he ever won . Tears I cry won a group 1 with outed winning any other group races and so on and so on .

Won a listed first prep . Remember weir on the radio after his first couple of runs saying how immature the horse was and he was 12 months away . Some great wins and some ordinary runs , that's racing , they can't all be Winx hahaha

PC is awfully short in the market.

I'll be having something on Hursley each way at 30/1 in this race. Loves Caulfield and up to his right distance.

Ridden as best as he could do, it was either get going now or be stuck in traffic.

Might be looking at a trip to Tassie for the Cups now apparently.

That's about right mate and with a big chance to pass all ballot clauses, worry free from then on and you can plan with NO restrictions, this is a nice horse and it's all in front of him IMO.

Couldn't agree more . He looks a cracking Entire and IMO untapped ability . All he
Needs is a bit of luck (like they all do ) in a big race and he'll jag it . Anyway , it's all about the odds for me lol or Multis . I saw that with sportsbet he was $81 for the Melbourne cup and now $41????? Surely he wouldn't race in the cup this year , could he? Strange thing he's not in the Caulfield cup betting markets , or any other market for that matter . Anyway best of luck to connections
