Group 1 star Behemoth is set to return to work next week as connections eye massive autumn for the South Australian.
The five-year-old was a dominant figure during the spring, winning the Gr.1 Memsie Stakes and Gr.1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes before contesting The Everest.
After a quick break in the paddock, Grand Syndicates' Sam Lyons said Behemoth would now work towards Caulfield's Gr.1 Futurity and C.F. Orr Stakes, as well as The All-Star Mile.
Lyons said champion hoop Craig Williams was keen to continue his association with the horse.
He also said he was confident of getting Behemoth into The All-Star Mile at The Valley if his form warranted it.
He's got a cult following being the big horse that he is and coming from South Australia. Those guys will get behind him too.
"And no offense to Man Of His Word, but if we could get Man Of His Word into the first All-Star Mile then we should be able to find a way to get in a multiple Gr.1 winner in there."
