In the recent outing for Age Of Sail at Randwick, he came in third, not far behind the leaders. Now that he's fitter, he's got a solid chance of finishing in the top three again, I think. Nash Rawiller knows how to handle him too, so don't count him out just yet. Previously, 3rd of 13 at Eagle Farm BM90 on June 8, 2024 over 1810m. Very good record at the track, watch out for it on Saturday. Should enjoy the distance (2400m). Wet track form reads well too Doesnt mind running third-up, good record thus far. I think its a real genuine each way chance.

Last time out at Randwick, Elson Boy was right up there with the leaders and put in a solid effort. He showed great speed and battled on fairly well. This time, I think he's got a more favourable draw, which should give him a better shot. With that advantage, he's definitely among the dangers and one to watch closely. In his last start, Elson Boy was 54.5kg and ended up finishing 2nd, behind Contemporary (58kg) over 1200m after being right in the thick of things around the corner. Previously, 1st of 10 at Rosehill BM78 on June 15, 2024 over 1300m. Should enjoy the distance (1300m). Likes running second-up, good record. Good odds for a place.
