I am under no illusions that he will be at his best on Monday but he has trained well lately and is ready to move onto the next stage. The race will do him some good from a fitness standpoint as well, especially if we look to stretch him out and the experience of going through the paddock/post parade/ starting gate process is important going forward.

Gotcha. Well, I imagine it is nice to at least have reason to think that he might be effective on multiple surfaces.
Good luck with him today. Here's hoping he handles himself well with all of the questions that inevitably accompany a debut, and brings home a decent check for you guys in the process.
