The John Zielke-trained three-year-old Dreams Aplenty is now the winner of his last four starts after putting up a game very effort in taking out this Group Three race. He went to the front, set a solid pace (first 1000m in 60.98) and was challenged nearing the home turn. Then after a battle down the full stretch of the Eagle Farm straight he prevailed in a photo finish, staging a very gutsy and impressive effort. It was also a really good ride by the apprentice Tiffani Brooker. The Brent Stanleytrained Violate was fourth early on before settling in second place. He moved up to challenge at the 600m and then fought strongly with his rival for the closest of seconds in an exciting race. Kunming raced back in third place on the rails and held on in the straight to hold the minor placing, having no chance with the first pair.
