The Flash One, a four-year-old gelding making the fourth start of his career, was ridden to near perfection by Mathew Cahill as he cruised to a half-length win in the Byrnes Jewellers Four Year Old Maiden Plate (1200m).

The Flash One ($2.30 favourite) got out well from barrier 11 and made his way across to sit behind Arizona Thomas ($15) early on.

Cahill settled in there for the first half of the journey but by the time the field reached the top of the bend Cahill had moved to the lead and the middle of the track.

From there it was all fairly straightforward, as The Flash One eased across the line ahead of Irish Spy ($7) and Cream Of Oz ($7).

Bjorn Baker also had a day to remember, training three of the first six winners on Sunday.

Following Hyde's win in the first, Baker's filly Credit Card Miss won the Radio 2MG and Real FM Three-Year-Old Maiden Plate (1200m).

That was followed by one of the more impressive wins of the day as Shanakee made it two from two for Baker in the Mudgee Guardian Handicap (1400m).

The Jungle Wax Class 1 and Maiden Plate was also won by Warwick Farm-based Baker with Cyclone winning in a close finish.

Shanakee, a three-year-old filly, came to Mudgee as one Baker really liked the look of and the $2.50 favourite did not disappoint.

Jockey Greg Ryan, who rode all of Baker's winners, sat comfortably towards the front of the field early on.

Once they got to the straight he made his move, getting to the lead easily with Shanakee and going on to win by one-and-three-quarter-lengths from Casino Whispers ($13) and Track Flash ($7).

Scone trainer Greg Bennett was another who didn't disappoint, with gelding Clearly Innocent backing up the trainer's confidence.

Bennett claimed the four-year-old was good enough to take out the Mudgee Florist Benchmark 65 Handicap (1200m) and that was how it panned out, with apprentice Samantha Clenton guiding Clearly Innocent to a two-length win.
