Ka Ying Rising, trained by Australian David Hayes in Hong Kong, finished over the top of the field to record its 14th straight victory.
‘I thought for a moment he was going to get hemmed in, but Zac is pretty good at getting out,’ Hayes told the Seven Network.
Tempted took second, with Jimmysstar third and Overpass fourth.
