That is form most domestic horses here couldn't get within 10 lengths of which is why The Chosen One almost exclusively races in Australia, having only had two starts here in 34 months.
He was placed in both, third to Avantage in the group one mile at Otaki two years ago and second to Royal Performer in the Herbie Dyke fresh-up last season.
The Chosen One is in that same fresh start for the Thorndon on Saturday but with one major difference, his last two starts here have been at weight-for-age whereas this week's big mile is set weights and penalties.
Because he has only won one race, a mid-range handicap, in the last two years he is set to carry just 55kgs on Saturday, less than Concert Hall, Two Illicit, southern galloper Hasabro and quite remarakably 2kgs less that Mali Ston, who has only had seven race starts.
"That is a real bonus for us having to only carry 55kgs," says Forsman, who trains The Chosen One with Murray Baker.
"Everybody knows he is not a pure miler but fresh up this season he finished third in the group two Feehan Stakes at The Valley and that is strong form for this.
"So we know he can run well at a mile, the question will be whether he can beat a mare like Two Illicit who has raced at a very high level this summer?"
The Thorndon has turned into the mile race of the season with the The Chosen One, Concert Hall and Two Illicit all late entries while the intriguing contender is Sydney galloper Holyfield.
The Annabel Neasham-trained gelding has raced in top Australian races like the Sires' Produce and Coolmore Classic at two and three and was a last-start second in the Magic Millions Cup over 1400m on the Gold Coast.
Stable rep Todd Pollard said Holyfield is still expected to fly into Auckland on Wednesday and then travel south for the race and would add some late spice to the market.
Two Illicit was the $3.50 favourite before final acceptances which will be 10am on Wednesday, with The Chosen One at $7 and Holyfield rated a $14 chance.
Defending champion Waisake is incredibly short at $2.40 for the Wellington Cup on Saturday in which he carries the 59kg topweight.
