Chris Munce threw away the script and kept his unbeaten record on Jet Style intact in the Recognition Stakes at Eagle Farm on Saturday.

It wasn't Munce's plan to lead aboard the favourite Jet Style ($2.60) but he quickly took up the front-running role rather than risk being trapped wide had he stuck to his pre-race tactics.

"I had every intention of settling in third or fourth spot even from the bad draw," Munce said.

"My expectation was Biggles would lead but I'm not sure if he missed the start but for whatever reason he didn't take it up so I just let my guy stride."

Munce said Jet Style relaxed beautifully once he found the lead.

"Even though he had to do a bit of work in the first furlong, once he got the lead he just pricked his ears, throttled back and did it easily.

"He came back underneath me beautifully and he was going half pace until we turned for home."

When Biggles ($3.40) eventually challenged Jet Style in the straight, the pair engaged in an enthralling battle in the final 200m with only a half head separating them at the finish.

"Biggles got a good head in front of me but you've got to take your hat off to this bloke, he fights like a tiger," Munce said.

Trainer Don Baker said Munce's understanding of Jet Style was an important factor in their victory.

"Chris has had three rides on him for three wins and they really click together," Baker said.

"It was pretty close at the finish but he's a game horse and I knew he wouldn't shirk it," Baker said.

Noel Doyle, the trainer of Biggles, has several options to consider for Biggles.

"I haven't ruled out the Villiers but I might keep him here and choose between a couple of races he's eligible for on Magic Millions day," Doyle said.

"He could run in the 1800 metres Stayers Cup or the other option is to keep him fresh for the 1400-metre race."
