John Sargent is banking on a patient approach with Good Job Bro having its first reward of the spring at Randwick on Wednesday.

A campaign which started out full of hope and promise has returned nothing but frustration from a horse who raced against the best earlier this year.

But Sargent expects his early-season pains with Good Job Bro to be forgotten when the three-year-old steps out in the Thinc Handicap on Randwick's Kensington track.

"He's done well and he's trialled well so hopefully he's back to his best," Sargent said.

Good Job Bro is a city winner on a soft track but what stands out even more on his form card is a placing as a juvenile to Guelph.

Since they met in a Warwick Farm race in January, Guelph has won four Group One races and she is unchallenged as Australia's best three-year-old filly after her Thousand Guineas win.

Good Job Bro won his next start but in five subsequent trips to the races, he has done nothing but test the patience of his trainer.

"His coat wasn't right early on in his preparation and I put him out and brought him back in again," Sargent said.

"Then he was unlucky at his last start and got galloped on as well.

"We've just had to wait until the leg came right."

Sargent wants the Kensington 1000m scamper to be the starting point for a routine campaign.

"Hopefully we should be able to get some racing into him now on a regular basis," he said.

Good Job Bro ran his best race in three return starts when he was posted deep on the speed when he was injured in a Canterbury placing last month.

He drops another 100m in distance after a Randwick barrier trial win last week but Sargent figures the dynamics of Wednesday's race will work for his horse.

"He needs to get back and run on and he needs good pace in his races to do that," the trainer said.
