It was a big improvement on his debut run last month when fifth at Sandown after jumping awkwardly from the gates.
A $110,000 Magic Millions purchase for his trainers from the Widden Stud draft, Farstar was bred by Qatar Bloodstock and is a half-brother to Group III winner Sharnee Rose and stakes-placed Zaffaan and is the fifth winner from Farasha, a half-sister to the dams of Group I winners Rewaaya and Ertijaal.
This is the Asawir branch of the Easy Date family that also features Group I BRC Doomben Cup winner Sense of Occasion.
Farasha has been a regular partner for Zoustar and Widden Stud sold the current two year-old from the mare, a full sister to Farasha, for $800,000 at the Magic Millions Yearling Sale this year to China Horse Club.

Farstar is the 13th first crop winner for Zoustar, who also sired a new stakes horse on Saturday with promising colt Charge finishing a close second in the Listed ATC The Rosebud.
Zoustar is fully booked this spring at Widden Stud at a fee of $60,500.
