Danerich's quirks cost him a chance to win the Group Three Bletchingly Stakes eight years ago but his son Lord Of The Sky is an odds-on favourite to claim Saturday's renewal of the Caulfield feature.

The highly strung Danerich won the Group Three McNeil Stakes as a three-year-old but battled into sixth in the 2006 Bletchingly Stakes just days after winning a barrier trial by eight lengths.

Lord Of The Sky scored a dominant win in the Group Three Sir John Monash Stakes at his first outing against older horses at Caulfield on July 5.

Laing said Lord Of The Sky's relaxed nature gave him the scope to outdo his sire's efforts during his career.

"This horse has got the same ability as Danerich but he's got a brain," Laing said.

"Danerich was off his head. He'd go home and run a trench into his paddock, he'd just run all day.

"This horse just goes to sleep when he goes home and he does it at the races too."

Lord Of The Sky started as a $2.70 favourite when he took out the Monash but the TAB has opened him as a $1.80 chance to post his sixth win from nine starts.

The Monash Stakes runner-up Le Bonsir is a $6 second pick ahead of the Adelaide speedster Thiamandi at $8.

Thiamandi has displayed terrific early speed in most of her wins but took a trail behind the leaders in her latest success at Caulfield on July 5.

Lord Of The Sky left Thiamandi eight lengths behind when the pair met as two-year-olds after a speed battle between the duo failed to eventuate.

"They told me she was going lead him as a two-year-old about 12 months ago but she didn't get within four or five lengths of him for early pace," Laing said.

Laing said Lord Of The Sky's main asset was his high-cruising speed, allowing the colt to reel off consistently fast sectional times for jockey Dwayne Dunn.

"They just can't keep up and when he (Dunn) lets him run it's see you later," Laing said.
