The Edgewater Meats Handicap at Flemington on Saturday looms as a battle of the top wet trackers in Melbourne and Moe trainer Peter Gelagotis is confident that he has the best of the bunch.
"Savquaw is an exceptional horse on a wet track, I've got no doubt that he's the best wet tracker going around," he said.
Of the runners in Saturday's race, eight have been successful on heavy tracks in the past but with seven victories on heavy ground from 14 attempts, Savquaw is surely at the top of the mud heap.
"The horse is in fine fettle and we go there pretty confident of another win tomorrow," Gelagotis said.
"He's a winner and at the end of the day you know that he's always going to try his guts out, he puts in every single time."
While Gelagotis doesn't bet, he admitted that the stable had enjoyed a fruitful campaign with Savquaw this winter with two wins from three starts on his preferred soft tracks.
"He owes us absolutely nothing for as long as he lives. I just love the horse and I reckon he's really looking for this distance (2000m) on Saturday."
Savquaw's main opposition looks likely to come from Mick Kent's tough campaigner Red Buttons and up-and-coming four-year-old Riveted from the Ciaron Maher stable at Warrnambool.
Only He Knows has also been backed at long odds with the Robert Smerdon stable gearing up for a big day at Flemington after a plunge on debutant Breitling in the opening race.
