Hellbent laid the gauntlet down, doing it with ease in winning the Inglis Dash over 1100 metres, without turning a hair.

He had a bit on those he met at Flemington having won twice mid week at Rosehill, and placed twice at Randwick, he opened up favourite and remained there throughout betting. It was a restricted race; he ran the trip in 1.03.62.

He is now back in Goulburn where the colt is trained by former farrier, Kurt Goldman, where plans will be laid down for another restricted race in May, worth $400,000.

Gold Symphony was best backed to beat him after winning twice at Caulfield, but was no match for the Goulburn trained colt.

The Big Dance made headlines when she won at Bendigo, back in March, for her huge ownership, given her two starts immediately after that were fair, her third run back was a fizzer, after leading she wilted on the vine.

She is going to be a hard horse to place for Danny Curran, a win at Bendigo is a long way from Flemington, and there is not many 1000 metre races about that would suit her.

Hellbent proves too classy in Inglis Dash
