Talented three-year-old , an impressive all-the-way winner at on Saturday, will get another opportunity to showcase his staying credentials, with trainer likely to back-up the son of at this weekend.

The gelding comfortably staved off his rivals under a well-judged ride and will step up from 1500m when he contests the Fletcher Sheds (2000m) at Matamata. “He came through the win in terrific order and is bouncing around like a two-year-old,” Campbell said.

“We always thought he was a Derby horse, but he was pretty disappointing at the other day (when seventh in the Listed 3YO Salver over 2100m), so we thought we would back him up over 1500m. “He won well enough to carry on with and we thought we will try him over ground. He might not stay, but I am pretty confident he will.”

Peloton has won two of his seven starts to date and has one minor placing from his seven career starts.
