Despite getting away to an awkward start, he showed pace and won with a ton in hand.
The son of Buffalo Bill Cody could be anything and he can keep his unbeaten record intact.
Gilded Butterfly from the Stuart Pettigrew stable takes her place in the Gr 2 TAB Igugu Stakes.
She ran a fair race in the Gr1 TAB Empress Club Stakes last time.
She is having her peak run today and should be cherry-ripe.
Gavin Lerena is booked to ride and if getting away to a clean start, she can return to winning ways.
