The Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott-trained three-year-old San Pablo looks the makings of a handy stayer following his win in a Gosford Maiden (1600m) on 11 April with a good win here, stepping up to 1900m. He was smartly away and then travelled well in front, setting a good pace, got a break nearing the home turn and then showed gameness in fighting back for a narrow but promising win.
