Donna Logan has no doubt that her impressive debut winner Qiji Phoenix can make his mark in stakes company.

"He's a really nice horse and we were looking at the Sires' Produce at Awapuni, but it would just come up a wee bit soon for him," said Logan, who trains the two-year-old at Ruakaka with Chris Gibbs.

"We'll look for something else and then we might think about Brisbane for him."

The Chinese-owned colt was a trial winner at Cambridge before he was successful at Te Rapa.
