The master blaster's confident...Bart Cummings is talking up the talent of his emerging stayer Precedence. He's confident he's going to play a major role in the big spring handicaps. Bart says: 'I have been impressed how much he has come along. His work has been good and he's showing in his gallops that the further he goes the better he goes. He's come along so well since he was last in racing...His pedigree has staying written all over it and after tonight's race (the JRA Cup at Moonee Valley)

The master blaster's confident...Bart Cummings is talking up the talent of his emerging stayer Precedence. He's confident he's going to play a major role in the big spring handicaps. Bart says: 'I have been impressed how much he has come along. His work has been good and he's showing in his gallops that the further he goes the better he goes. He's come along so well since he was last in racing...His pedigree has staying written all over it and after tonight's race (the JRA Cup at Moonee Valley) he will give us a good insight of what we can expect in the coming weeks. I think he's going to be a great Caulfield Cup horse and after that I can't see why the Melbourne Cup would be beyond him.' Precedence is currently 17/1 for the Caulfield Cup and 20/1 for the Melbourne Cup.
