Improving from his fourth in this race last year, the Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young trained Brayden Star (GB) has secured himself a start in next Saturday’s $5m Group 1 MRC Caulfield Cup (2400m) with victory in Saturday’s $400,000 Group 2 MRC Herbert Power Stakes (2400m) at Caulfield.

Fresh from siring Incognito to win the Group III ATC Breeders Plate last week, Golden Slipper winner Stay Inside has wasted no time posting his second winner with Inhabit saluting as favourite in the $65,000 Moorundi Classic (900m) at Murray Bridge on Saturday.
