Not since the meteoric rise of Baltra back in 2012 has there been such excitement surrounding one of Colvin's gallopers ahead of Another One's appearance in the $75,000 TAB Highway Class Two Handicap (1200m).

Another One has won two of his three race starts and was luckless behind subsequent group one placegetter Lion's Roar in his only defeat.

The exciting start to his career prompted a big money offer from Hong Kong, that was rejected, and now he has been reportedly backed from $6 into $3.20 favourite for his metropolitan debut.

Colvin admits excitement is just one emotion hitting him ahead of Another One's city appearance.

"I am (excited). I'm more worried," Colvin said with a laugh.

"I've been in it a fair while so you just take it as it comes.

"We do everything we can for him, he's treated like another horse. If you start putting them in cotton wool you get in all sorts of trouble.

"I've got no worries about taking him down there because he's a very easy going horse. When you've got an easy going horse like that they don't spend much energy. If you've got a hyped up horse and take them to Sydney all the time they start to knock themselves around. It won't worry him much."

Colvin is no stranger to city success with Forever Newyork's win at Canterbury in February last year his most recent metropolitan win.

While having some nice horses since Baltra, Colvin admits he thought he might be waiting even longer for his next potential star when he lost promising two-year-old Eastern Wind earlier in the year.

Much to Colvin's delight, along came Another One and already he has shown him enough to suggest he is one of the best horses he's trained.

"For sure. You know good horses because they're just different, they do it and they don't worry about anything. He worries about nothing," he said.

"Eastern Wind, I had, he was the same. He was very promising but broke down.

"After him going amiss, I put my head down between my knees but the old game, if you hang in, something else comes along and it has."

Another One will be ridden by Jason Collett from barrier 13.

While Colvin is confident Another One will run well, he recognises the challenge in front of his three-year-old.

"I can't fault him, he's worked well. He's been going really well," he said.

"I'm a bit disappointed he got 58 (kilograms). I was expecting about 56.5.

"He's a promising horse without a doubt but he's the only three-year-old in the race. He's got it all in front of him. You have to give him a crack at it, he's a class two, so we'll have a crack. What do you do, wait until next year and he's already won four races? You've got to have a crack at it.

"If he runs up to his form, he should be hard to beat."
