Sydney stayer best known for his prowess on wet tracks. Three stakes wins in the McKell Cup, Caloundra Cup and the Sky High Stakes have all come on tracks rated Soft 7 or worse, although his career best performance when second to Duais in the Tancred Stakes in March came on a Soft 6 track. Strong win in the ATC St Leger before fair closing eighth in the Rosehill Gold Cup on Saturday. Only fair at his sole run at two miles. Jockey Sam Clipperton, one of Australia's brightest young talents, makes his Lexus Melbourne Cup debut, as does 14-time Group 1-winning trainer Joe Pride.
