Ridden by Zac Lloyd for Ciaron Maher, Perspiration displayed an electric turn of foot, but the Listed Rosebud winner Gatsby's was in for the fight.

Perspiration edged the Snitzel colt, with the $800,000 I Am Invincible colt Ikasara back in third.

After finishing second at his first two starts at Randwick and Caulfield, Perspiration made a one-act affair of Mornington Sires (1100m) on April 20 before coming off a 19-week break to finish sixth behind Storm Boy in the Group III San Domenico Stakes at Randwick.

The 3-year-old son of Too Darn Hot (GB) advances his record to two wins and two seconds from five starts with earnings of $255,350.
