It\u2019s great to get a win under his belt at this stage but I\u2019ll probably tip him out now. He\u2019ll be better at three and he \u00a0looks like he will get 1400 or a mile.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Attached to the race was a Super VOBIS and VOBIS Gold bonuses that boosted the Benalla maiden prizemoney for first from $9,000 to $27,410.
