McColm returns the son of Pierata to 1200 metres in a Class 5 Plate at Eagle Farm on Wednesday and is hopeful of a form reversal on his last effort.

“I personally believed he’d be a 1400 metre horse but he may not get it now so he may be a 1200 metre horse,” McColm said.

“On face value his last run was disappointing, but he doesn’t like hard tracks and it was a very hard track last time.

“I have to forgive him on his last run and he should acquit himself well and be hard to hard to beat this week.”
