Trainer Brendan McCarthy is looking forward to seeing what heights four-year-old Zedi Knight can reach after an impressive start to his career.

With four wins from five starts, the son of multiple Group One winning sprinter Zeditave continues to raise his rating with every run and goes to another level in Monday's Worldwide Bloodstock Flying Handicap (1200m) at Moonee Valley.

"Early on we thought he was at least up to up to Listed or Group Three level and he is certainly living up to that expectation the way he's gone though his classes," McCarthy said.

An 82 rated horse, Zedi Knight takes on an 89-class field this time which promises to be a genuine test for him.

A form lapse has allowed Group winner Count To Zero into the race as topweight while the emerging talent includes Arch Symbol with five wins and a second from six starts, Day Out, who has won seven of 15 starts, and Target with three wins from five runs.

"A case can be made for quite a few of them and this will give us another chance to see how good he is," McCarthy said.

"It is virtually an open class race but it seemed ideal for him as he likes the Valley so much."

Zedi Knight's last two wins have been on the StrathAyr track while he has posted other wins at Cranbourne and Kilmore.

His only defeat came at his second race start at Cranbourne where he finished three-quarters of a length second to Huxssen who has since gone on to win twice in the city and competed in the Australian Guineas.

"All the form around him (Zedi Knight) has been good with quite a few of the horses he has beaten going on to win races," McCarthy said.

He said Zedi Knight's races had been spaced but with a slow track at the Valley last start on April 3 he pulled up without any jarred joints which have troubled him in the past.

"This is probably the quickest he's had two runs together but with the sting right out of the track last time it made it a lot easier on his joints," McCarthy said.

Zedi Knight's biggest winning margin has only been 1-1/4 lengths but McCarthy said the gelding had a great will to win.

"A few times on the turn he has looked like he was in trouble with other horses around him seemingly travelling better but he just seems to one of those horses that can keep finding a little bit when he has to," McCarthy said.

"Last start Grecian Choice headed him but he put a length on it within a few strides after that and then fought off a challenge from another horse right on the line."

Zedi Knight made his debut in January and McCarthy said Monday's assignment would be his last before spell.

"He will go for bit of a break and hopefully come back for the early spring races when we can see whether he can realise his potential," McCarthy said.

"We are very hopeful of his future."
