Second in his final three starts in England (the best his second to Logician), he started off his Australian career with a fine effort in the Caulfield Cup, coming to late to grab fourth behind Mer De Glace. Below I’ve taken a look at each horse. He came with a flying run to win from an unpromising position and clearly has bucketloads of talent, so shouldn't be underestimated even with his big weight.
