Greatham Boy is looking good and, after that fluent win at his last start, his connections could be thinking that their boy could lift the big one on April 6.
Trainer Tim Fitzsimmons and the Greatham Boy Stable will go into the Group 3 Singapore ThreeYear-Old Sprint (1,200m) carrying high hopes. It will not come as any surprise to see their galloper romp home.
For one thing, Greatham Boy is better than good.
In a short career, he has amassed close to $150,000 in career earnings and, to think, he has only raced six times for three wins, a second and a third.
As if to remind those who do not already know, it was on April 2 that Fitzsimmons sent Greatham Boy for an early morning spin on the training track.
It was probably to tie up loose ends and the son of Stratosphere turned in a stirring gallop, running the 600m in 39.3sec.
As it stands, Greatham Boy will be in his comfort zone when the runners are called in for the $110,000 race.
He will feel the turf under his hooves which is something he likes. And he will gobble up the 1,200m trip like a kid slurping an ice cream.
Then there is the "occasion".
