WHAT THE KEY PLAYERS ARE SAYING:
“He’s a progressive young horse who we’ve thought quite highly of. He’s had a good foundation, I’m sure the mile at Randwick will suit him, he’ll take up a position and he’s a horse who can be in the finish” – Malaise’s trainer John O’Shea.
“He’s handled a wet track before. He’s bred to get a wet track being by High Chaparral out of a Zabeel mare (Assertion)” – Impavido’s trainer Bjorn Baker.
“He will appreciate getting up to a mile (1600m) and further” – Comin’ Through’s trainer Chris Waller.
