The Team Hawkes-trained colt Into Orbit is now unbeaten in two starts, resuming after his easy debut win Pakenham Maiden (1100m) on 23 August with another good win here. He missed the start and settled in second last place, on the rails, in the seven-horse field, behind a steady pace. He got a split on straightening, challenged at the 300m and battled on too well in the sprint home to score a smart win. Gwenneth went to the front, steadied the pace and fought gamely in the straight for a good second.
