Ridden by Thomas Stockdale, Trapeze Warrior broke through for his third from nine starts when kicking on to win the 1000m Benchmark 70 event by a length.

An $850,000 Magic Millions purchase, Trapeze Warrior was bred by Mill Park in partnership and offered by them at the Gold Coast where he was snapped up by his trainer Phillip Stokes and runs for an ownership group that includes his breeders.
