Training partners Trent and Natalie Young will get a better guide to the potential of Master Of Chant after he runs at Moonee Valley.

The former UK galloper will have his second run in Australia when he lines up in the Maureen Salter Handicap (1600m) on Saturday.

A winner on the synthetic track at Kempton Park before his purchase, Master Of Chant, under Blake Shinn, scored in benchmark 64 grade at Sale last month on debut for the Busuttin and Young yard.

By comparisons to other European purchases, Master Of Chant was a cheap buy and is already on the road to recouping his owners outlay.

On Saturday, Master Of Chant is jumping to benchmark 70 level and Busuttin said he believes the gelding will progress to higher grade than that.

“He won a 64 and he’s jumping to a 70 in town, which is never easy,” Busuttin said.

“And it looks a competitive 70 looking at it, but I think he’s better than a 64.

“He did things wrong, and Blake said he could go to town at his next start and be competitive.

“He’s gone on with it on the track and most of them (imports) improve from their first run to their second and their third and hopefully he’s no different.”

Busuttin said the rating of good, as it was on Thursday afternoon, would suit Master Of Chant as the gelding’s best form in England prior to coming to Australia was on the synthetic surfaces.

“I don’t think he’s a wet track horse and they do run a lot of decent horses over there on the synthetics, so you have no problems buying horses over there with that synthetic form,” Busuttin said.

“He’s a nice horse. The mile will suit him and hopefully he can get a bunny (something to follow) into it.

“He was a bit green last start, but I think he’ll run well.”
