Just found this on Blue Monday

BLUE MONDAY, third to Notnowcato in last year's Juddmonte International Stakes at York, is likely to make his Australian debut in the next fortnight.

The six-year-old has moved from Roger Charlton, for whom he ran his last race when fourth in the Canadian International over nine months ago, to join David Hayes.

The latter has compared Blue Monday favourably with his father Colin's last Cox Plate winner, Almaarad, who was transferred from John Dunlop in 1989.
“He's got similar form in Europe to Almaarad prior to kicking off and, if he can convert, he'll be a genuine weight-for-age horse,” Hayes told Fox Sports in Australia.

“We'll see what happens but I wouldn't expect him to be competitive until he gets to a mile and beyond.

“He's that style of horse. He'd find them too sharp over 1400m, but he'll probably have to kick off in a race like the Liston, at Caulfield on Saturday week, because he hasn't raced for so long.”
