Mr Individual missed a run in last week’s Caulfield Guineas when named the first emergency but gained some consolation with an all-the-way win in the Movenpick #RaceDayIceCream Plate over 1600 metres.

Jockey Mark Zahra took the colt straight to the front from the outside draw in the small field and stacked up his rivals before turning the son of Starspangledbanner loose in the straight.

Mr Individual ($2.30 fav) went to the line strongly to defeat He’s Our Rokkii ($2.90) by a length and a half with Manhattan Blues ($13) a further two and a quarter lengths away in third.

Troy Corstens said Mr Individual was learning to relax with race experience and believed the colt would be a better horse in the autumn.

Connections had gone into Wednesday’s race thinking the outing could be his last for the spring but Corstens did not rule out backing the colt up in the Listed Gothic Stakes (1400m) on Saturday after accepting for the race that morning.

The Carbine Club Stakes (1600m) on the opening day of the Flemington carnival could also be an option.
