He produced one of the most memorable victories in recent times when sailing down the outside rail at Royal Randwick to take out the Queen Elizabeth Stakes in 2022. And now, the Kerry Parker-trained Think It Over is back for another throw at the stumps.
The eight-year-old will return to the trials at Warwick Farm on Tuesday and Parker is hopeful his stable stalwart can deliver another fruitful preparation.
In Tuesday's trial he lines up against quality gallopers such as Fangirl, Militarize and Tiz Invincible, but Parker is keeping his powder dry.
"It's just his first trial back, he'll be there for a little day out and a canter around. Just get the little adrenalin pump from going to the trials," Parker said.
"The plan is to give him another one in a couple of weeks, but all in all he's ticking along good and going about his business well."
The son of So You Think has been a marvel for the Parker barn, winning 13 races in total and amassing over $7.8 million in earnings at the highest level, a fact not lost on the Kembla Grange-based conditioner.
"He's been absolutely brilliant," Parker effused.
"He'll be the best horse I've ever trained. To come out of the woodwork like he has, I think his first start for me was a Class 1 or 2 over 1300m at Hawkesbury.
"He's just kept climbing the ladder, what a sensational ride he has been."
After winning the 2022 edition of the Queen Elizabeth Stakes, Think It Over suffered a career-threatening tendon injury and was out of action for 16 months. In a fantastic training effort, the Parker stable was able to get him back in the spring to take out the $1 million 7 Stakes.
"It's always a query when they're on their way back from an injury like that," Parker said.
"But for him to come back and do what he did winning the 7 Stakes, it was quite easy to look after him and bring him back for another preparation.
"He thoroughly enjoys being in work and all the attention is about him.
"The Queen Elizabeth will be his main aim. If he could come back and have another crack at that, that will be wonderful."
Think It Over currently sits at $26 in future's markets for the Queen Elizabeth Stakes to be held at Royal Randwick on April 13.
