A daring ride by Shaun McGruddy paid off in spades with his willing partner Saracino (NZ) (Per Incanto {USA}) leading all the way.
McGruddy put the pressure on a long way out with the 7-year-old, who stuck to his task well after dashing 6l clear on the turn.
Pym’s Royale (Husson {Arg}) finished off resolutely, but came up 0.3l short at the post with Multiverse (Universal Ruler) the best of the rest.
