RACING: Jaden Lloyd was given an inch, and he took a mile with an all the way effort at Allman Park, Warwick.
The rising apprentice made light work of the widest barrier in the field of six in the Benchmark 58 Handicap (2000m).
Felzone ($2.15 fav) was never tested at any stage of the race for the lead, giving him plenty in the tank for the business end of the event.
Lloyd was able to do just that, fending off the late challenge of brother Zac aboard Leicable ($9.50) to score by a half-length.
It gives the five-year-old back-to-back wins for trainer Kelly Schweida after saluting at Gatton last month.

RACING: Keen Warwick racegoers will get the chance to witness one of Toowoomba’s best sprinters in the flesh.
Kevin Kemp has found the Magic Millions Country Cup Qualifier Open Handicap (1200m) at Allman Park as the right race for Mr Marbellouz to get back into the winner’s circle.
The gelding’s lofty rating has meant quality events in the city have been his only option, but now the chance has presented to end his run of nine outs.
The seven-year-old has also been nominated for the Listed Magic Millions Falvelon Quality (1200m) at Eagle Farm, however Kemp said he would opt for the trip down the New England Hwy instead.
