Victorian star Velocette ($2.30) began brilliantly and led throughout to add to his Group tally when taking out the Group 2 Imagetec Gold Coast Cup (520m) at Albion Park last Thursday night.
The son of Bombastic Shiraz–Texan Lady scored by three and a half lengths in 29.90.
He downed the flashing Dashing Corsair ($9.00) with a head to High Earner ($3.20) in third.
