G'day Tony,
It might be just his size, whatever it is...there's something about him (Franco Emirate) that reminds me of Melpark Major.
On MM night he looked like a 3 headed Gorilla heading out to warm up. Big, strong, a long stride on him and I thought to myself how can they beat this? He went off at $1.30 and although he finished 3rd, to me he never ever looked like a winning chance at any stage in the race. I think you may have him pegged. He's physically mature but at the moment, mentally, maybe still not totally switched on. If he puts it all together, a horse of those physical dimensions really should be something to watch next time around.
