Patience and persistence are two of the most valuable traits a trainer can possess so it is fitting that promising middle-distance galloper Fulmonti is finally reaching his full potential for the astute Chris Jordan.

In his short career to date, the lightly-raced but immensely talented Fulmonti has tested the resilience of Jordan and the four-year-old's loyal Sydney owners Alan Jones and Barry Broomhead.

But on Saturday at Eagle Farm the gelding can further stake his claim as a winter carnival prospect when he tackles open company for the first time in the Romantic Dream Hcp (1800m).

"He's done really well since his last win, he doesn't do a lot of work on the track and he's an easy horse to keep ticking over," Jordan said.

"If he can win this race we will have to think about some of the better-class races during the winter and he's definitely going for a break after tomorrow with the winter in mind."

The future wasn't always so rosy for Fulmonti.

Prior to breaking through for consecutive wins at his past two starts, his record wasn't so encouraging.

At his first race start the Montjeu gelding was beaten 20 lengths in a Gold Coast maiden but Jordan, a former New Zealand rugby league international, kept the faith.

"I always knew the horse had ability, he was just a bit backward and typical of the breed he needed plenty of time to mature," Jordan said.

After experiencing the highest accolades in racing with his brother Kerry through the deeds of their Group One stars Baryshnikov, Hunter and Innocent King, Jordan could have easily given up on Fulmonti.

But despite the humbling experience of being in the runners-up stall on eight occasions in the next 17 attempts, Jordan's unwavering belief in the four-year-old was tested but never broken.

"Most of those seconds he had legitimate excuses, he was ridden badly a few times and with half a bit of luck three or four of the seconds could have been wins," Jordan said.

Former Sydney apprentice Willie Pearson is forging a formidable partnership with Fulmonti with a win and a second from two rides, and his allowance means Fulmonti will carry two kilos under the minimum on 51kg tomorrow and receive a whopping 7kg from topweight Malta.

Pearson produced a perfect ride when he guided Fulmonti to an authoritative win over 1830m at Eagle Farm on Boxing Day but was replaced by Michael Cahill when Fulmonti steamed home from the rear of the field to trounce his opposition at Doomben last start over 2020m.

With Fulmonti's liking for a soft surface, rainfall in Brisbane in the past two days further enhances his chances.
