No doubt a great performance on Saturday.
As to the Classic, I think what is key is that the gelding has limited bottom (7 lifetime starts), is coming off a big top (I would guess a -2 TG), may not have liked the track (post-race trainer quote) and looked like one tired runner after the gallop out.
All that tells me that he will a prime bounce candidate on November 1, which is one thing he has in his favor (35 days to recover).
