The striking grey is building an impressive record in Australia, and has never finished worse than 3rd from five starts here.
Brad Thompson foresees a field that won't be able to run down Glass Harmonium at Caulfield on Saturday.
Glass Harmonium steps out for his second-up assignment in the G1 Underwood Stakes (1800m) after a super first-up performance a fortnight ago.
The Michael Moroney-trained six-year-old was caught wide, but stuck on gamely for second behind the fast-finishing - and now retired - Littorio in the G2 Makybe Diva Stakes.
He was on the speed (as usual) in that showing, and from barrier 12 on Saturday expect Lisa Cropp to push forward again and perhaps even lead the field if her steed is comfortable there.
With the rail out 10m at Caulfield, it's feasible that the place to be will be on the speed.
The striking grey is building an impressive record in Australia, and has never finished worse than 3rd from five starts here.
I loathe to admit it, but the danger is money-muncher Heart Of Dreams, which was pretty good first-up.
From barrier 14, Heart Of Dreams might get a cart forward via Glass Harmonium who is two stalls inside him in 12.
Expect close to $7 for Glass Harmonium on Betfair, with backers rallying late for Peter Moody's Lights Of Heaven with the blinkers on, along with perhaps specking for Heart Of Dreams...again.
At those odds, glass Harmonium can be backed each-way , but he is a definite winning chance.
