Connections of So Si Bon (So You Think) are hoping he can finally break through for an elite-level win in the Kingsford-Smith Cup (Gr.1, 1300m) at Eagle Farm tomorrow. The Tom Dabernig and Ben Hayes-trained gelding has placed three times in Gr.1 races at 1400 metres and 1600 metres during the past four years and again faces a strong field of rivals.
He's fallen just short of the mark when we've had him in Gr.1s but he's run some very good races at Gr.1 level, so I certainly wouldn't put it past him, Dabernig told The 7YO has won three of his last six starts, including the Vobis Gold Mile (1600m) at Caulfield last time.
He's the sort of horse that, even when he gets beat, often the margin isn't too great so, if the race happened to go his way, he's certainly the horse that will be finishing strong,” Dabernig added.
