Albeit a rise in class he has the speed to lead and will be hard to catch. ORDER OF COMMAND has a lot of weight to carry here but has class on his side. BRAVE SONG has a good first up record (6:2:2:0). TECHFORM’S TOP 5 1 Order of Command 100 3 Runson 98 7 Alfa Oro 96 4 Coruscate 96 6 Brooklyn Hustle 95 TESTA ROSSA (Perugino – Bo Dapper) Trained by Dean Lawson, Testa Rossa started 28 times for 13 wins and in excess of $3M in prizemoney. He won six Group 1 races, including back to back wins in the Sir Rupert Clarke at Caulfield. He had a great rivalry with another a star colt, Redoute’s Choice, who he finished second to in both the Blue Diamond Stakes and Caulfield Guineas. At stud he has also had a great influence, highlighted by his glamour sprinting daughter Ortensia, a multiple Group 1 winner on the international stage.
