Di Mazzio as a yearlingTrained by Louis Goosen, four year-old gelding Di Mazzio scored his second win from five starts when claiming a long neck victory over 1200 metres.

He is the fourth winner from stakes-placed Gold Chant, a half-sister to Champion Sprinter and successful sire Starspangledbanner from the family of champions Elvstroem and Haradasun.

Making a winning debut over 1600 metres was three year-old gelding Sir Bernadini, who scored a half length win for the Dennis Bosch stable.

A $52,500 Inglis Premier purchase for World Wide Bloodstock from the Bowness Stud draft, Sir Bernadini is the second winner from Commands mare Redesign, a daughter of Group I winner Inaflury.
