Jumping from barrier 17, the horse was sent out as a $8 chance with bookmakers. Japanese horses have taken out a number of Australian feature races over the years and this time it was no different as the Hisashi Shimizu-trained galloper made easy work of his rivals. The Japanese continued their love affair with Australia after another one of their horses, Mer De Glace, saluted in the Caulfield Cup. Superstar mare Verry Elleegant claimed her sixth G1 win, taking out out the 2020 Caulfield Cup (2400m) following a stirring duel with Anthony Van Dyck. Sent out as a $5 favourite ahead of the Aidan O'Brien-trained Anthony Van Dyck at $6, Verry Elleegant settled just worse than midfield under Mark Zahra. The runs came early in the feature, with the field packing up around the home turn as the early leader Dashing Willoughby dropped back sharply though the field. The favourites came wide into the straight, with despised outsider The Chosen One bursting through closer to the fence. A length off The Chosen One at the furlong marker, Verry Elleegant knuckled down strongly to run to the lead at the 75m, pulling out enough to hold a lunging Anthony Van Dyck at bay.

Incentivise has done what was expected of him to deliver a first major for trainer Peter Moody when he blew his rivals away to win the 2021 Caulfield Cup. Caulfield Cup Winners (By Year) 2021 Winner
