Chris Waller-trained colt Lean Mean Machine followed his good third in the Ken Russell Classic (Gr 3, 1200m) at the Gold Coast on 5 May when having his third start to score well, advancing in class here. He settled back in eighth place, tracking a good tempo, improved along the inner from the 600m, continued along the rails to hit the front at the 100m and then went on to score well. His stablemate and favourite Zousain went to the front, was challenged from the 600m and kept fighting on nicely to hold second. Boomsara raced outside the leader, put pressure on the leader before the home turn and did well in holding on to dead-heat for third with Sizzling Ace, who had enjoyed a good trip in fourth place on the rails, while Sesar made good late ground for (2.6 lengths) fifth.
