Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott-trained three-year-old Angel's Boy did not show any early pace from his inside barrier (1) and settled back midfield on the rails before tracking up deeper (with cover) from the 700m. He angled into clear running on straightening, took the lead at the 100m and went on to score comfortably, his second win in seven starts and his first at stakes level. It was also a good ride by Rachel King.
