He’s A Villian has been dominant over the 600m but can also match it with the best over the 515m sprint which is a credit to his ability and training feats of Lisa Rasmussen.
In what was an outstanding final He’s A Villian started at eachway odds however when he found the front early from box 7 and sped away from his rivals he was quickly odds on for victory. He ran a blistering 8.84 lead time and 21.62 to the back with both Lochinvar Akira and Footluce Diva giving chase. As heads turned for home He’s A Villian was in no danger going on to win by 1 ½ lengths in a sizzling 34.91.
