Ex-Hong Kong trained Alias followed up recent wins at Gosford and Wyong last month with another win, stepping up in class here. He led in the early stages before easing to race in second spot before moving up well nearing the home turn. He took the lead at the 200m and then battled on to win quite well by three quarters of a length from Magic Dallas who ran on from second last in the 11-horse field at the turn for a good second. *ANZ
