Big-hearted galloper Stepitup returned to the big time with a heart-stopping victory in the $350,000 Group 2 Queen Elizabeth II Cup (2000m) on Sunday.

Australia’s top rated three-year-old colt All Too Hard collected another Group 1 victory at Caulfield on Saturday, adding the weight-for-age C.F. Orr Stakes over 1400m to his Caulfield Guineas win earlier this season.

ERRATIC two-year-olds Essaouira and More Joyous must stop buck-jumping if they are to take their place in next month's $3.5 million Golden Slipper Stakes.
