Prior to that run he showed his class with a third in The Bart Cummings behind Future History.
Bott told Racing And Sports that Serpentine had recovered from the Melbourne Cup, a race where he struggled over the 3200 metres.
The 2020 English Derby winner had freshened up since that run according to Bott and he hoped he would return to his best form.

The stable also has another stayer by Galileo in the same race, I’m A Dirty Rascal, who is second up from over a year off.
Bott said they were happy with his first-up fifth over 1800m at Newcastle and he expected him to run a nice race at odds.
Serpentine is $6 with PlayUp and I’m A Dirty Rascal is $17.
