Tigerland stamped himself as quite a promising horse in winning the Thomas Sabo Plate at Caulfield.

His record now reads as three wins from four starts, in fact it should have read four from four, except for bad luck, at his first outing when second at Wangaratta.

He was always handy in running back on the fence near the home turn, but was having difficulty in obtaining a clear passage.

Those that took the short odds would have been concerned, but once the run appeared the issue was never in doubt.

There is quite some upside to the horse, lightly raced, fully matured and likely to get further than his win on Saturday.

The rising five year old gelding is prepared by Matt Laurie, a talented young trainer; he is on a roll at present with the smart filly, Mezeray Miss, in the stable.

There are no definite plans for Tigerland at this stage, it will depend on how he pulls up after the race and how well he does in the stable, he needs to improve his rating, but no risks will be taken with him.

He is by the little known sire, Mr Nancho by Southern Halo, his racing career was confined to the Argentine.
