The colt will now run in the G1 Inglis Sires at Randwick next Saturday, where he is among the leading chances.

Co-trainer Adrian Bott was optimistic of the horses chances in the race and believes he has a very nice colt going forward.

"We were really confident with the horse," Bott said.

"The conditions were the concern today but he seemed to relish them once he begun well and he looked to travel well throughout.

"We wanted to see a strong performance like that to top him off for the Sires.

"I would be very confident with him going forward."

The race was a quinella for Inglis Easter graduates, with Strasbourg coming home well for second.

There are six colts and eight fillies by Pierro in the 2019 Australian Easter Yearling Sale catalogue.
