\u201cIt was great to see him run out that 2500m with that weight; that\u2019s really good going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
O\u2019Sullivan will be chasing his second Adelaide Cup triumph.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was a fair way back, but we blended into the race really well.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt wasn\u2019t an issue the weight, we were able to blend in at our leisure, and he was too good in the end.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
BALLARAT trainer Dan O\u2019Sullivan is more convinced than ever he has the right horse for the right job in next month\u2019s Group 2 Adelaide Cup (3200m) following Berkeley Square\u2019s imposing win in the Be Captivated Trophy (2500m) at Flemington last Saturday.
