Nine-year-old Cash N Flow showed there is plenty of zip left in his legs with a brilliant all-the-way victory in the fourth and final heat of the All In One Property Mercury80 series.
\nTop young driver Jack Callaghan rolled straight to the lead with the Belinda McCarthy-trained gelding and he was not for catching over the 1200m scamper.
\nIn the end, he pulled clear to score by more than 8m over Bulletproof Boy, who surged late for trainer-driver Scott Ewen to claim the second automatic qualification spot.
\n\u201cHe\u2019s just a classy old horse and probably hasn\u2019t been at the peak of his powers like he was 18 months ago,\u201d Callaghan said.
\n\u201cBut the trip down this week, sharpen him up. He felt really sharp in the warm-up, he loves this track, he\u2019s gone fast times here before.
\n\u201cHe was up and at \u2018em and loved that 1200m race just as much as I did.\u201d
\nCash N Flow clocked a gross time of 82.3sec, which was a shade outside the 82.2sec Ozzie Battler recorded when taking out heat two.
\nEight horses from the four heats progress to the $50,000 final at Melton this Saturday on February 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
