The Written By colt was a close second on debut in the Group III ATC Breeders Plate before resuming from a short break to win easily at Randwick on December 23.

He was second favourite for the big race at the Gold Coast behind his stablemate Storm Boy, who has now firmed to $2.50 ahead of Highness, Parkour and the Maher / Eustace runner Spywire, who is set to trial at the Gold Coast on Tuesday morning.
