Trainer John Sargent is banking on a patient approach with Good Job Bro having its first reward of the spring at Randwick tomorrow.
A campaign which started out full of hope and promise has returned nothing but frustration from a horse who raced against the best earlier this year.
But Sargent expects his early-season pains with Good Job Bro to be forgotten when the 3-year-old steps out in the Thinc Hcp on Randwick's Kensington track.
"He's done well and he's trialled well so, hopefully, he's back to his best," Sargent said.
He drops another 100m in distance after a Randwick barrier trial win last week but Sargent figures the dynamics of today's race will work for his horse.
