A heavy 10 at Warwick Farm on Wednesday led to an avalanche of scratchings and for those runners that remained to brave the conditions it was survival of the fittest with Exceedance posting a winning double.

Off the back of three jump out victories, the Mark Walker trained Samudra (Snitzel), the first foal of dual Group 1 winner Pippie (Written Tycoon) defeated I'mateez, the Capitalist half-brother to ten-time Group 1 winner Imperatriz (I Am Invincible) in Wednesday's Thoroughbred Club of Australia Handicap (1000m) on the Sandown Hillside track.
