Cambridge stable of Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman will have another strong contender for next month’s Gr.1 Al Basti Equiworld Dubai New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) after The Chosen One’s dominant victory in the Listed Zacinto Stakes (1600m).

The unbeaten son of Savabeel went into the mile feature as a dominant $2.80 favourite after winning on debut at Waverley earlier this month, and won accordingly.

He was pushed forward from the jump by jockey Matt Cameron and was able to dictate terms throughout, winning by two and a quarter lengths over In A Twinkling.

“It was a very good run, he won quite easy,” Baker said. “I thought he was a chance from what he has shown.”

The Chosen One will now head towards next month’s 2000 Guineas where he will be joined by fellow Baker-Forsman runners Madison County and Qiji Express.

“We’ll probably go to the 2000 Guineas, but it’s a much stronger class,” Baker said. “It is only his second start, so he should improve a bit.”
