Hyperion Stakes (G3)
Material Man followed his win in the Belmont Sprint (Gr 3, 1400m) here a fortnight ago, when resuming after taking out the Perth Cup (Gr 2, 2400m) on New Year's Day, with another Group success here. He was settled nicely in third place on the rails by Lucy Warwick, got into clear running on straightening and he then finished well in the sprint home to score by a long neck at the post. Great Shot was smartly away and went for the front. He then set a reasonable tempo (first 1000m 62.01) before lifting the pace from the 600m. He then fought gamely, only being overtaken in the closing stages for second. Pounamu raced in fifth place, on the rails, got along the inner from the home turn and then fought on nicely in the sprint home for third in a sound effort at his second run this preparation.
