After six placings at his first nine starts, James Cummings-trained three-year-old Most Exalted broke through for his first win in promising fashion here. Racing without blinkers, he was slow to move and settled in last place in the seven-horse field before improving, between runners, nearing the home turn. He challenged at the 200m, hit the front at the 100m and then raced away to score easily, looking suited to further in a smart effort.
