Richard Gibson's three-year-old Mi Savvy turned up at Happy Valley at his first start and nearly completed the rare feat of a win on debut, but with a vital inside draw and experience under his belt, he can act as a banker in the opening leg of tomorrow night's Triple Trio.
Not only was Mi Savvy having his first trip to the races, he had the benefit of just three trials - a token 650m effort in New Zealand, an educational 1,050m spin on the all-weather track for Gibson and a strong effort at Happy Valley.
Despite his relative inexperience, he was still sent out at single-figure odds and clearly carrying the stable's confidence.
He lived up to the support with a game effort, despite having a few things go wrong in the run, just failing to run down Ride On The Fire, who he faces again in another Class Four over 1,000m.
Olivier Doleuze again pilots from the 1,000m and, with the rail in the dreaded 'C+3' position, barrier one is gold and he can get the run of the race. Mi Savvy trailed Ride On The Fire (Tim Clark) last time, but this time the roles could be reversed.
He will be perfectly positioned on the rails in a race where there should be pace from the outside and he also gets the benefit of a three-pound weight turnaround on his rival.
