Bivouac wins Ladbrokes Vain Stakes Group 3, $160,000 at Caulfield, 1100m.
Classy Godolphin-raced colt Bivouac scored an impressive first-up victory here taking his record to three wins (all at stakes level) and two placings from six starts.
He settled in fourth place on the rails, eased into clear running rounding the home turn, raced to the front on passing the 200m and then drew away to score easily by just over four lengths.
Sebrakate went to the front, set quite a good tempo and held on well for second in sound first-up effort.
The lightly-raced Dirty Work raced outside the leader (Sebrakate) and did well in holding on to take third at only his third race start and his first run this preparation.
Dubious was smartly away, was second early on but was shuffled back to second last in the six-horse field nearing the home turn.
He then made late ground (under riding) for (6.3 lengths) fourth with Excess Funds fifth, tiring from third after a wide trip and racing keenly.
