Trainer Noel Doyle believes the best is yet to come from promising youngster Biggles following the gelding's commanding win in the QTIS Hamilton Hotel Handicap at Eagle Farm on Saturday.

   Biggles had little trouble stepping up to 1500 metres for the first time in only his fifth start and easily disposed of his rivals to score by 2-1/4 lengths over Peppered Black.

   Denwood finished on strongly to finish a half-neck away third.

   Biggles, who was coming off a maiden victory at Ipswich at his previous start, has now earned connections $75,000 in prizemoney but still has a way to go before recouping his purchase price of $160,000.

   Doyle bought Biggles at the Magic Millions sales last year and is confident his owners will soon be back in the black.

  "He has always shown a lot of ability and he is improving all the time," Doyle said.

  "He stepped up in distance today, but I was always pretty confident. He is an exceptional horse to do anything with in his work.

  "On his work I thought whatever beats him will be winning."

   Doyle knew Biggles was above average from the time he was first tested on the training track, but being a "boy" was taking his mind off his job as a racehorse.

   Biggles was gelded following his first two starts and since returning to work has gone on to win two of his three starts this campaign.

   Doyle said he had had a soft spot for Biggles from the time he first inspected him in the lead-up to the Magic Millions yearling sales last year.

   He was determined to buy him but had to fight off the might of top Sydney trainers Chris Waller  and Paul Messara before winning the spirited sale ring duel.

   "We ended up in a bidding duel with trainers Paul Messara and Chris Waller for him but thankfully we got the last bid in at $160,000," Doyle said.

  Doyle was confident Biggles could break through for his first city win after a sparkling track gallop during the week.

   "I know he had 57kg and an outside alley but he had worked so well we were very confident," Doyle said.

   "There's no doubt in my mind he's going to make a good three-year-old next season."

   Jockey Jim Byrne also was impressed with Biggles and tipped a bright future for him next season.
