John Zielke-trained gelding Dreams Aplenty, winner of last year's Gunsynd Classic (Gr 3, 1600m) at Eagle Farm, scored a very good win here at his second run this preparation. He was smartly away and went straight to the front. He then set quite a good pace (first 800m in 48.64), and then fought off a number of challengers in the straight before holding on gamely to score by a half-neck, sprinting home his last 600m in quick 33.76. Aqua Vite raced in sixth place, one off the rails, went wide at the home turn, moved up well to challenge at the 100m and battled on nicely for a good second. Charlie Boy had a good trip in seventh place on the rails, got along the inner in the straight and looked a threat when he challenged at the 100m before fighting well for a close up third.
