Not a doubt in the world in can run. However, early sectionals are the killer of dogs with loads of ability and so far, it has not shown much early dash. If it improves its first marker times, it will be a topliner and probably will be anyway.
Take the Wayne Vassallo trained Rookie Traveller. Breathtaking 29.78 winner of his very first race start around Sandown Park back in April. No doubting this dog has a huge motor and ability. He has one big problem. Shocking first split times has meant they have to put him over the longer distance (which he looks suited anyway) and he is yet to deliver on any of his early promise.
No doubting Roundsy only keeps stars, thats obvious. But, this dog reminds me of Rookie Traveller from what I have seen. With that being said, he might be the "learning" type and smarten up with age, but the only way you will be a super star and have ordinary box/first split manners if you have a motor like Turanza Bale or good old Proven Alias....
Time will tell
