DAVID Eustace would love Grand Bernini to move through his classes without garnering too much attention but he knows that is not going to happen with an all-white horse.

Despite Grand Bernini breaking his maiden status with a five-length win at Moe on Wednesday, paying $12.60 with TAB, the Caulfield trainer warned punters to take note of the standard.

“It’s early days and we’re not going to get carried away as it wasn’t an overly strong maiden,” Eustace said. “He’s had plenty of attention already but now it’s time for him to do it on the track.”

Eustace, who co-trains with Ciaron Maher, praised their stable staff for the extra attention needed to protect the three-year-old colt from the sun.

“With his colouring and with the hot weather it’s a lot of work to look after him,” he said.

Grand Bernini failed at his debut, at Bairnsdale, but Eustace put that down to his inexperience.

“He’s always shown ability but he’s just taken his time to work it out,” he said. “He’s a horse who has always wanted to get it over and done with as quickly as possible.

“We made some gear adjustments taking his cross over noseband off and placed a norton bit on. Jye (McNeil) was able to get him into a great rhythm.”

The Maher-Eustace stable also have Grand Bernini’s white half sister two-year-old filly Utzon in their stable.
