"He trialed lovely," said Shinn. "He began really well and showed nice speed but wasn't in a rush. It was his first trial so we weren't looking to over exert him.

"I didn't give him a hard time but just enough to clean him out. He felt terrific and he's come back terrific.

"It'll be exciting to see him in the Moir where he'll be a real live chance."

Co-trainer Peter Snowden was likewise pleased with his first public display, citing one more trial before a return to race action, with his initial target being the Group 1 Moir Stakes over 1000m at Moonee Valley on September 29.

"It was a good trial," he said. "He was a bit fresh in himself but you'd expect that. He's gained a lot of condition and has come back in stronger.

"He'll have one more trial which will bring him up to the mark and he'll be ready to go."
