Now a four-time winner, could the Sizzling gelding be a smoky for this year's Narrandera Cup and Big Dance qualifier?
The horse has a perfect 2 from 2 record at Narrandera and could get into the race on the limit weight.
Narrandera Race Club Racing Manager Michael Bailey has put the suggestion to Graeme, and time will tell.
