Ridden by Glen Boss, Foreteller set off to reel in the freewheeling Crackerjack King (IRE) and just as he fought off the $51 chance he had another battle on his hands with the hard charging Happy Trails.
It was the third win at the elite level for Foreteller who captured last year's Ranvet Stakes.
Fourth in last year's Cox Plate won by Shamus Award, Foreteller will be given another chance this year along with George Main Stakes winner Sacred Falls according to Waller stable representative Justine Hales.
"It's great to see Sacred Falls win back on a good track and it's just lovely to see this horse win again," Hales said.
"Definitely, he's off to the Cox Plate now."
"He always tries, he's very honest, I was a little bit worried today because he was a bit handier than usual and I was hoping he would sprint."
"I think it was good the other horse came back a bit and he caught Happy Trails out of the corner of his eye and he kept trying."
The Juddmonte Farms-bred 8yo gelding cost Waller 100,000 guineas at the Tattersalls Autumn Horses in Training sale and his record now stands at 11 wins 4 second and 3 third from 35 starts for earnings of $1,861,771
