Easy Beast as a yearling when sold through the NZB draft of Rich Hill Stud
Easy Beast (NZ) (Super Easy) faces a starkly different scenario heading into his second racetrack appearance than what he did at his first.
That debut came at Caulfield on Easter Saturday, when he was the subject of one of the better betting moves of the weekend.
The Richard Laming-trained two-year-old started as favourite, but could manage only third placing.
His second start comes in Saturday's A$120,000 Listed Thoroughbred Club Cup (1200m).
Dwayne Dunn, who rode Easy Beast in that 1100m debut and is again engaged this weekend, has not given up on the colt and said the benefit of that outing will stand him in good stead.
"I think he'll take a lot of experience from it," Dunn said.
"He showed a lot at home before he went there, we just thought he would let down and win that day just on what he'd shown us, but I think he needed the race experience.
"I think the 1200 will suit him and we'll be happy to use his speed." -racing.com
