Frank Who can continue his progression in the Property Market Class 1 Handicap at Wyong on Thursday.
The son of Zabeel is only lightly-raced having been given plenty of time to mature by connections.
It is gradually beginning to pay dividends with the gelding breaking maiden status at Hawkesbury on resuming.
Resuming on a testing track, the gelding posted a determined victory over 1300m.
While only against four rivals, it was an encouraging display and one which he can build upon in the Property Market Class 1 Handicap (1600m).
Nine remain in the opening leg of the quaddie after scratchings.
Of these nine, only five sit inside the handicap.
Frank Who while not the top rater in the field on latest form, does shape as the most progressive in the event contesting Race 6 at Wyong off a career best performance.
Expect the gelding to be prominent throughout under the guidance of Tye Angland and prove too good when it counts.
Hilarious Honour rates highest in this field based on both 12 month and 50 day weight adjusted Timeform ratings.
The three-year-old has been mixing form though and heads into this affair off a well beaten seventh at Canterbury over 1550m.
The Chris Waller-trained gelding is the current favourite for the event however is amassing a number of convictions this campaign which is now into its eighth start.
Fancy A Cruiser has been holding his form well and lines up here off a second at this course and distance a fortnight ago.
The gelding carries nothing on his back after the 3kg claim of Clare Pettigrew and is largely expected to be thereabouts at the finish.
Carluca endured a tough run in transit at Kembla Grange over a mile but kept to his task bravely for a close fifth.
While disappointing on resuming, Sashay is capable of better and is worth keeping safe.
Overall though, Frank Who is a gelding who looks capable of progressing through his grades this winter.
The near each way odds about him in the Property Market Class 1 Handicap (1600m) as of Friday morning appear generous.
