Your making it sound like he's putting himself in the draft. The only thing that may take adjusting is the speed but he is well up to that. And for the record horses can improve. Maluckyday couldn't win a maiden at Wyong his first start 9 months ago and now has run a 2nd in a melbourne cup. Its just my opinion and only time will tell.
To be fair, the Cox Plate is a far better quality of race than the Melbourne Cup
