Trained at Gilgandra by Leo Harland, Patrick May ( $8 ) after being in front turning for home was headed by the $1.85 favourite Sue's Girlfriend (Jake Pracey-Holmes) close to the finish however under strong riding from Andrew Banks rallied to win by a nose with Arkam Asylum ( Wendy Peel,$6 ) over two lengths away third.
Andrew Banks completed a double when Gaze Beyond in the 1400 metres Nutrien Ag Solutions Benchmark 58 Handicap continued the recent run of success for Bathurst trainer Roy.L.McCabe.
Hokkaido ( Tiffany Jeffries,$6 ) had dashed clear in the straight before Gaze Beyond ( $5.50 ) came with a strong finish to score by threequarters of a length with a long neck to third placed Turramurra ( Ken Dunbar,$17 ).
Nyngan trainer Rodney Robb also had two winners at Warren, starting with Ready Set Go in the 1000 metres Adors Party Hire Maiden Handicap.
Owned by the trainers son Brett "Snow" Robb and his partner Katie Atherton, Ready Set Go ( Michael Heagney,$5.50 ) overcame a wide barrier to swoop on the leaders and score convincingly from Exquisite Dreamer ( Angela Cooper,$12 ) and Delago Express.$9.50 ).
Owned by Wayne Brown, Bee Double Bee ( Ken Dunbar,$2.70 favourite ) became the second leg of the Rodney Robb double when sprinting through a gap to overhaul Drummed Out ( Wendy Peel,$7 ) and Ligny ( Tiffany Jeffries,$18 ) in the 1000 metres MCC Hydraulics Benchmark 58 Handicap.
Reward Seeker made an impressive return to racing when winning the Adama Class 1 Handicap ( 1600 metres ) for Wellington trainer Michael Mulholland.
A winner at debut over 1400 metres at Warren last Autumn, the now five year old Reward Seeker had another two runs before a spell and looks set for a good campaign.
With Quayde Krogh in the saddle, Reward Seeker (/$4.80 ) parked behind the leaders and finished well to account for Lady Riz ( Jake Pracey-Holmes,$8 ) and Mount Taishan ( Billy Cray,$4.80 ).
Dubbo trainer and jockey Billy Cray have combined for several recent wins and Jarmanagic ( $6.50 ) became another winner when leading throughout to beat Well Decorated ( Quayde Krogh,$7 ) and Litt Up ( Kate Cowan,$3.80 fav.) in the 1200 metres Principle Focus Class 1 Handicap.
