    Trainer Matt Dunn has revealed his grand plans for stakes-winning international Sea King which has returned to work following a brief freshen up. Dunn picked up the European stayer off English-based trainer Harry Eustace and he's eager to see the gelding in action, with the Melbourne Cup still on his radar after finishing 14th in 2024.
