Trained by Mick Price and Michael Kent Jr, What You Need won easily at Geelong last spring before heading to the paddock and was brilliant in the 1100m three year-old handicap, bolting away to win by more than three lengths for Ben Melham.

uo;He went better than I thought he would and whatever he’s done here today, I believe there is improvement in him fitness wise,” said Mick Price, who revealed the $1million Group II ATC Arrowfield Sprint in Sydney is on April 8 is on the agenda..

“He’ll go to a $500,000 Listed race (Sunlight Classic) here in a couple of weeks time, 1100m down the straight and that should set him up nice for a possible trip to Sydney.”

A $180,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Widden Stud draft for his trainer, What You Need was bred by Widden in partnership and runs for a syndicate of stable clients with Widden Stud also retaining an interest.

He is a half-brother to Group III winner Runway Star and is the third winner from stakes-placed Commands mare Intuit, a daughter of Group I winner Wrap Around and half-sister to the dams of Champion 2YO Filly Fashions Afield and also this year’s Magic Millions 3YO Guineas winner Fashion Legend.

Intuit had a colt by Zousain last spring and was then covered by Portland Sky.
