The consistent Infinite Bliss ($2.30 fav), from the Michael Mulholland stable at Dubbo, led all the way to score by more than two lengths from Lost In Space ($7.00, Leanne Henry) and Spirited Addition ($7.00, Vad Bolozhinskyi).
Infinite Bliss was coming off a last-start third at Bathurst and a win at Muswellbrook.
Consented, the first leg of the Greg Ryan double, was a convincing winner of the Keith Kilby Memorial Class 3 Handicap (1600m) for Dubbo trainer Garry Lunn.
Taking the lead 300m from home, Consented ($1.90 fav) beat the pacemaker Pride Of Gold ($9.00, Ken Dunbar) by two lengths with nearly a length to third-placed Seadore ($21.00, Melissa Hames)

Trainer Jennifer Williams, from Wangaratta in Victoria, was hoping for a debut win with A Burst Of Orange at Gilgandra, but it wasn't to be.
A Burst Of Orange ($5.00, Jason Collins) set the pace before Milko ($5.50, Sophie Young), coming from midfield, gained an inside run to overhaul the Victorian in the last stride.
Trained at Tamworth by Kevin Dixon, Milko won by a short-half-head with Flynn's Flyer ($10.00, Greg Ryan) a close third in the Cam and Dorothy Carmichael Memorial Maiden Plate (1000m).

Path To Freedom made it back-to-back wins when taking out the Benchmark 45 Handicap (800m).
At its previous outing, the Kylie Kennedy-trained Path To Freedom had beaten a big field at Coonabarabran.
With Kody Nestor in the saddle at Gilgandra, Path To Freedom ($3.50 eq fav) was a comfortable all-the-way winner over Chinese Lady ($3.50 eq fav, Greg Ryan) and Gray Shanel ($15.00, Vad Bolozhinskyi).
