Perth Stakes (LR)
David Harrison-trained two-year-old gelding Chix Pic is now unbeaten in two starts, stepping up to take out this Listed race quite impressively after winning a 2YO Plate (1000m) at this track on 14 March when racing on debut. He was smartly away here, went to the front, fought off a challenge on straightening, dashed clear at the 200m and went on to score in good style. Platoon settled at the tail of the nine-horse field, went deep on turning for home and caught the eye with his late-closing second. Cup Night raced back in the field on the rails, got along the inner in the straight and battled on nicely for third, staging a sound effort at only his second race start. The short-priced favourite Driftstar was caught three wide, sharing the lead, moved to be outside the leader (Chix Pic) nearing the home turn but tired after working in the early stages for fourth.
