Son of Lord Kanaloa chasing second Group 1 victory.
The Natalie Young and Trent Busuttin-trained Tagaloa (Lord Kanaloa) will aim to add a second Group 1 win to his CV when he tackles the All-Aged Stakes (Gr 1, 1400m) at Randwick on April 24.
Having taken out the CS Hayes Stakes (Gr 3, 1400m) on February 13, the colt was last seen running third in the Australian Guineas (Gr 1, 1600m) and last year's Blue Diamond Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) tuned up for his assault in the All-Aged Stakes with a jump-out at Cranbourne last Tuesday.
"He feels great, bouncing off the track," Young told Racing.com.
"He will go straight to the All Aged. We may give him another exhibition gallop, he's had a trip away to Sandown for an exhibition gallop, he's had a jump out.
"We've got to make sure he's cranked up and ready to go first-up. We know he is at his best second-up, but we're not going to get that chance.
"He will be eight weeks between runs, so we have to have him pretty much spot on.
"He looks pretty fit at the moment, he has come through that jump out brilliantly."
