Having to race 5 deep and wide for the whole race he had everything stacked against him yet was pushed and cajoled into a strong midfield position throughout and kept a good positive position and line even when the pace quickened and coming round the final bend ( still wide ) this with just over 1f to go was sent to hunt the leaders down the middle and was tracked all the while himself with the eventual winner Baddalini getting first show ( stayed on well to defeat Grey Mirage ) the front 5 were split by maybe a length in total and a gap of almost 3L back to the field , this was a Group 2 race ( Grade 3 Today ) and a very strong showing and field and is a million miles away from what he will face today so i feel with Kirby again taking the ride a much more prominent position and a strong tactical ride will result in a win , he has pace to go any early speed , travels well ( slow or fast ) and can quicken off any pace set and has the heart for a battle , this will def place today and a repeat of its lto run will be easily be good enough to win by maybe 1/2 - 1L.
