Recording her first black type victory, the Grahame Begg trained filly Ruska Roma was simply too strong for her rivals in the $175,000 Listed MRC Twilight Glow Stakes (1400m) giving breeder/owner Jonathan Munz his first stakes winner sired by his Group 1 Caulfield Guineas winner Super Seth.

Stepping up to the 2000m for the first time off the back of his dominant victory on Melbourne Cup day in the Listed VRC TAB Trophy (1800m), Henry Dwyer’s progressive 3yo Ghaiyyath gelding Different Gravy was just as classy on Saturday, pulling clear to win the inaugural running of the $400,000 MRC Melbourne Classic.
