Williams was expecting him to dash in the 150m and keep a margin, but yes, the horse lacked the sparkle and gears of last year.

I think the jock was expecting more because he didn't let Brightside go earlier.

I also believe the horse was beaten by a better one.

Another Wil is a v. good horse and one to follow, even for a % play as a place this year.

Some sort of chance in the Cox Plate at $20 EW, $6+ plus place.
