Multiglory has stamped himself as a potential top grade sprinter after claiming his fourth win for the season, with both his trainer Tony Cruz and jockey Matthew Chadwick hinting that the best may still be to come.

In a re-match with Invinciblekindness, the only horse to have bettered him, Multiglory was able to dictate the speed and drive clear to a popular victory in The Arculli Trophy (1,000m) carrying 130 pounds as topweight.

'I hope he can be up there in the feature sprint races next season, he loves the straight, but I also think he would go well at Happy Valley if that is what the owner wants,' Chadwick said.

'He would be very hard to run down at the Valley with the short straight, but the way he is climbing through the ratings he may not get the chance to go there.'

'Hopefully the handicapper won't crunch him in the ratings, because I don't think the time was all that special, even though the margin to the third horse was pretty big. I just let him run the way he was happy, nobody could really match us out in front and he was able to keep giving all the way to the line,' he added.

Cruz is hopeful of Multiglory being as good as his father, King Of Danes, whom Cruz trained to a Group One win in the 2001 Centenary Sprint Cup and a rare victory over Fairy King Prawn down the Sha Tin straight.
