An eye-catching debut winner when he scored in the last Sydney metropolitan juvenile of the season back in July, Starman finished fifth and fourth at two subsequent runs with his trainer Chris Waller then electing to geld him.

Ridden by James McDonald, Starman travelled deep but hit the line hard to win the Benchmark 72 event over 1200m by half a head. He has now won two of four starts earning over $90,000 in prizemoney.

Being Magic Millions eligible, connections will no doubt have an eye towards the big Gold Coast race day in January if Starman continues to improve.
