You may be right but we won't ever know. That is until he fails at a short price in his next start as well.

He's a closing sprinter. Three times at two turns, two less than stellar performances with VERY good setups, and one " who knows ". I guess he can pass distance challenged quitters.....but can he pass horses that are actually accelerating and not decelerating? So far he hasn't done that going two turns.

You could have 'inferred' that I assumed that as well.

Just to poke fun back at you, please explain:

How exactly does one KNOW a horse Circular Quay is a 'closing sprinter" when he 1) ran his first route on Poly, 2) passes all but 1 horse in his 2nd attempt (were the other 12 all decelerating?) , 3) is 'stymied' in his latest route race?

Seriously, he may end up being exactly that, but I can't conclude that yet.
