The Queen Elizabeth Stakes in Sydney and next spring's Caulfield Cup are on the agenda for imported galloper Jet Away after he scored his second Australian win from as many starts in the Easter Cup (2000m.

Jet Away burst onto the local scene two weeks ago when he won at Bendigo at his first Australian start.

Trainer David Hayes then stepped him up to the comparatively modest Group Three class of Saturday's Caulfield race and received another strong endorsement of the ability on which his owners paid around $300,000 for.

"His owner Douglas Taylor took quite a gamble spending that much on a six-year-old entire, but he's looking like a good buy," Hayes said.

After being one of the slowest into stride, Jet Away, the $2.35 favourite, appeared to be in a hopeless position coming to the home turn.

But jockey Dwayne Dunn found a path through the field, joining in 100m out and then holding his opposition at bay to score by a neck from Folding Gear ($6).

Whisper Downs ($13) held third a half-head further away.

For Hayes it was Jet Away's willingness to find the line after mixing it with his rivals that impressed him most.

"What I liked was that he got into strife but didn't turn it up like you might expect an older stallion to do," he said.

"He responded well and he'll be a lot better next time."

Hayes also appreciated the report from his jockey who likened Jet Away to their 2006 Caulfield Cup winner Tawqeet.

"The first thing Dwayne said was that he stuck his neck out and raced just like Tawqeet," he said.

"The Caulfield Cup is what he was bought for, so that's good to hear."

Before thinking about the spring, Hayes will enter Jet Away for next month's Group One Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2000m) at Randwick.

While Jet Away's victory confirmed his potential, the victory of Budriguez in the Group Three Victoria Handicap (1400m) provided deserved recognition.

At his previous start Budriguez dead-heated with Melbourne Cup favourite Puissance De Lune in the Blamey Stakes (1600m) at Flemington.

But in the excitement generated by the horse who is shaping as Australia's best stayer, Budriguez was largely forgotten.

On Saturday his all-the-way win put him squarely into the spotlight in his own right.

Budriguez ($8) scored by 1-1/4 lengths from Sertorius ($4.20) with British General ($4.60) a half neck further back in third.
