Poster Boy ($1.10) was unchallenged in his first race start May last year, when he almost died from pneumonia.
Reinsman Greg Sugars allowed the 5yo to settle at the back of the field of five before allowing the entire to cruise home his last 800m in a blistering 53.9 seconds.
Poster Boy, with 20 wins in 28 starts, completed a double for Cardigan trainer Emma Stewart and treble for the Myrniong-based Sugars.
PROMISING squaregaiter Always Ready ($1.20 favourite) extended his unbeaten winning streak to five for the season at Melton.
With Ryan Duffy again taking the reins for Cardigan trainer Anton Golino, Always Ready raced away by 11.5m after sitting outside the leader.
Always Ready's winning form comes on the back of a lengthy injury enforced lay-off which saw him miss his 3yo racing season.
