Trainer Sara Ryan has her eye on a Queensland winter carnival campaign with promising colt Is It Spectacular, though a possible trip to Melbourne for a black-type race is also under consideration.

After scoring narrowly at Warwick Farm on Wednesday, Ryan revealed she may look to the Listed Anzac Day Stakes (1400m) at Flemington on April 25 as a next step for the progressive son of Dundeel.

“I was half-thinking about the Anzac Stakes down in Melbourne in three weeks’ time but his ultimate goal will be up in Queensland,” Ryan told Sky Racing.

“I’ve always had a very big opinion of this horse and the day that Chad (Schofield) rode it at its first start he got off it and said, ‘this is a serious horse’.”

Is It Spectacular was only having his second start in the Find Your Ozzmosis @ The Chase Handicap (1300m) and showed both talent and inexperience. Racing outside the lead, he managed to outduel the more seasoned Godolphin runner Gaeilge in the final stages.

While the colt showed early speed, jockey Chad Schofield believes he will be better with a different racing pattern going forward.

“He’s a lovely horse. Still very raw but he gives a quality feel and he is only going to improve as he starts to learn what it’s all about,” Schofield said.

“We didn’t plan on being that close but he jumped well and showed a lot of gate speed.

We travelled outside the leader, came back, I got him to relax and we controlled the tempo.

Kerrin (McEvoy on Gaeilge) clicked up and sprinted quite well, but it was just a matter of me getting him through his gears and not rushing him too much because he is very much leggy at the moment.”

The Brisbane winter carnival, which features a number of Group 1 races for juveniles across May and June, appears to be the main target for Is It Spectacular as he continues to develop with racing and added distance.
