Boys on tour aren't known for being timid or lacking desire.
But those descriptions have sat alongside Boys On Tour, the racehorse, for most of his career.
In what might prove a turning point for the four-year-old, Boys On Tour finally delivered on his potential when he broke the Doomben 1600 metre track record on February 2.
Brett Killion, Patinack Farm's Queensland manager, believes the gelding is on target for a repeat win over the same course and distance on Saturday.
"He's one of those horses that thrives on confidence so I wouldn't be surprised if he put a couple of wins together now," Killion said.
"I think certain circumstances have come against him in his races from time to time but when things fall into place he's capable of winning better races."
Jockey Michael Cahill believes Boys On Tour resents racing tight among rival runners and races best when he has plenty of room to move, a sentiment Killion shares.
"If he gets in between other horses then he panics a bit but if he can be there on the turn and have a sniff of victory, that's when he can really put them away as he showed last start," he said.
"The mile is ideal for him and he's come through the last run great and is in the same vein of form as he was last start."
Bookmakers don't need any convincing.
TAB Fixed Odds posted Boys On Tour a dominant $1.45 favourite with Lucky Luna and Mr Light Blue, regarded the best hopes of toppling him, on the second line at $7.
Killion is also rapt with the way Peron has progressed since her runaway win in midweek company at Doomben on February 6.
"The step up from 1350 metres to a mile on Saturday is a really nice progression for her and she's a super promising filly," he said.
"She's delivered on everything that we've asked of her and she's crying out for the mile."
Patinack Farm head trainer John Thompson has been patient with the undefeated Peron since an early injury prevented her from racing until August last year.
"As a young horse she had some problems and that's why she only had the one start last campaign," Killion said.
"She tore some back muscles early in the piece so John gave her all the time in the world to recuperate and it's paying dividends now."
After Saturday's assignment, Peron is likely to be aimed at black type races for three-year-old fillies during the upcoming Brisbane carnival.
