Mark Purdon says Have Faith In Me can smash big sister Adore Me's Australasian mile record to win the A$750,000 Miracle Mile.
Have Faith In Me bludgeoned his way into the race with a 1:48.8 demolition job in the Chariots Of Fire at Menangle on Saturday, overcoming barrier 10 by sitting parked to win untouched by 10m.
Purdon had been unsure of a Miracle Mile start before the race but that performance left him in no doubt the four-year-old is ready to take on Beautide and Lennytheshark on February 28.
"He is in the zone and he just jogged it," said Purdon. "So he deserves his shot at these horses and he could have gone a lot quicker.
"I can't see any reason under the right circumstances he couldn't pace 1:47.5."
