Emerging colt Is It Spectacular could soon be on the road to Melbourne or Queensland, with trainer Sara Ryan weighing up her options after his gritty win at Warwick Farm on Wednesday.

Ryan is eyeing off a tilt at the Listed Anzac Day Stakes (1400m) at Flemington on April 25, although the main aim remains a Queensland winter campaign where the colt can step up in distance and class.

“I was half-thinking about the Anzac Stakes down in Melbourne in three weeks’ time but his ultimate goal will be up in Queensland,” Ryan told Sky Racing.

“I’ve always had a very big opinion of this horse and the day that Chad (Schofield) rode it at its first start he got off it and said, ‘this is a serious horse’.”

By Dundeel, Is It Spectacular was lining up for just his second career start when he took out the Find Your Ozzmosis @ The Chase Handicap (1300m), defeating Godolphin’s Gaeilge by a narrow margin despite racing greenly throughout.

Schofield, who partnered him again on Wednesday, believes there’s still plenty of upside.

“He’s a lovely horse. Still very raw but he gives a quality feel and he is only going to improve as he starts to learn what it’s all about,” Schofield said.

“We didn’t plan on being that close but he jumped well and showed a lot of gate speed.

We travelled outside the leader, came back, I got him to relax and we controlled the tempo.

Kerrin (McEvoy on Gaeilge) clicked up and sprinted quite well, but it was just a matter of me getting him through his gears and not rushing him too much because he is very much leggy at the moment.”

While the Anzac Day Stakes remains a short-term possibility, Ryan is confident Is It Spectacular will thrive as he steps up in trip during Queensland’s major carnival across May and June.
