He scored by nearly two lengths in the 740 metre scamper ahead of Uncle Mo (USA) colt Royal Mariner from the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott stable.

Exceed the Stars runs in the colours of Darby Racing and was a $220,000 Magic Millions purchase for Darby Racing/ De Burgh Equine from the Tyreel Stud draft.
