The Leon and Troy Corstens stable anticipates a bright future for Predetermined following his first victory at the second attempt at Sandown Lakeside on Wednesday.
Predetermined ($4.20), a two-year-old colt by Headwater, led throughout under Jamie Kah in the $50,000 Ladbrokes Switch Handicap (1200m) for two-year-olds, winning by three-quarters of a length from Amegdul ($6).
Montana Flash ($2.30 favourite) failed to make any significant inroads from his settling position in the five-horse field to finish third, a further 2.25 lengths away.
"He's a nice horse going forward," said stable representative Dom Sutton.
Predetermined finished sixth in the $500,000 Inglis Banner (1000m) at The Valley on October 24 at his previous start.
