The David Aiken-trained gelding pulled out three wide on the turn for home in Wednesday night’s semi-final at Bathurst Paceway, under the guidance of Todd McCarthy, and mowed down gallant leader The Spin King ($21.90).
Left Tennant ($4.50) showed encouraging signs for Sunday’s $30,000 final with a strong finish out wide to run third.
The winning mile rate over the 1,730 metre trip was 1:56.2.
“He was travelling really good all race. He’s come up here after he raced really well on Saturday night at Melton and I spoke to [regular driver] Josh Aiken and he had a high opinion of the horse and felt he had a bit of speed,” McCarthy said.
“That’s how I wanted to drive him tonight and it paid off.”
