STICK IT ON THE MAN

FROM PUNTER FRONT performance when brushing aside Oracle back there a month later.

- 

The bay was not fazed by a promotion to Listed level when slamming Poschiavo at the same venue in June.

Those efforts earned him a step up in both class and trip in the Prix Eugene Adam at Saint-Cloud.

He duly delivered the goods with a decisive length defeat of Bay City Roller so the rising star can upstage some of the best in the business.

THE MAN (1.50) stands to give Richard Spencer another big win in the HKJC World Pool Handicap.

The three-year-old looked a smart prospect when routing Storm Call on debut at Southwell in April of last year, only to be a disappointing 12th in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot.

His reputation took another knock when he flopped in the Molecomb at Goodwood come July.

The gelding was sent for wind surgery after another lacklustre run here 12 months ago. That proved a wise choice when the sprinter bolted up from Loom at York in May.
