A son of the great Shantou this youngster ran a terrific race on debut finishing a creditable second to Wrestlingwithrae with a margin under two lengths confirmed by the judge. He is a sharp type who was always close to the pace and is a brother to the Grade 1 performer Minella Crooner. His dam was a versatile and smart sort also who won three on the level and one over jumps and she is by Monsun. This fellow is proven over larger obstacles but it seems certain that he will enjoy a career with many opportunities as he can race on the level or over hurdles also in all probability and with equal success it would seem. A versatile option.
