Congratulations to new Dynamic trainer CHRIS MUNCE, who only hung up his jockey saddle in January but has made the transition to become a metropolitan trainer, like a "duck to water." 

When taking out his licence, Team Dynamic had no hesitation moving our first couple of our horses up to Chris to train for us. 

These were PERPLEXITY and SPECIFIC CHOICE with the later becoming Chris' first winner when winning at a mid-week metropolitan meeting. 

Now PERPLEXITY has won as well, so Chris has made it 2 Dynamic horses, 2 winners for our ownership teams.

Chris has now started each horse on 3 occasions. 

6 sts: 2 wins, 2 seconds, 1 third and $72,200 Prizemoney.

On Saturday, Chris Munce trained his third (3rd) winner overall and most importantly, his first metropolitan Saturday winner, as Dynamic Syndications galloper PERPLEXITY (Lonhro x Secret Haze) led from barrier to post to score anexceptionally impressive win over 2200m at just his third run back from a let-up and his third race start for his new trainer.

Sent to Queensland to be prepared by Chris Munce with the Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival in mind, Chris resumed Perplexity over 1640m at Doomben when a sizzling run saw him finish second, in a Class 6 event on Saturday 14 February.

Then second up he went to the Gold Coast to an 1800m event however he struck a Heavy 8 track and had been allotted 60.0kgs before a claim. The horse drifted too far back in the run and under the heavy weight on a bog however ran home strongly to run third.

However third up, back on top of the ground, on a good 4 surface and now at 2200m, his two previous flashing light runs were enough to have his trainer, jockey and connections, very confident that PERPLEXITY would make his presence felt.

Originally we had identified this event as a lovely stepping stone because the race was an Open Class event and as a Benchmark 78 horse, we expected to be in on the limit. However the nominations for the race were not as strong as would have expected therefore the weights were raised significantly and we went from carrying 54.0kgs to 58.0kgs. 

Third up, to lump 58.0kgs was our only slight reservation but we were adamant that his class would offset the weight.

Connections were never concerned throughout the race as PERPLEXITY won race 1, the Trevor Bailey Stables Open 2200m by 2.3 lengths x 0.5 length defeating Secret Garden (57.5kgs) and Vodnik (54.0kg after a 2.0kg claim). This was a Brisbane Saturday meeting relocated to the Gold Coast due to renovations being conducted at Eagle Farm.
  
Jockey Ryan Wiggins was sent out to be positive early and then establish in the run, whether he wanted to lead or trail a leader. However the decision was made easy, as no opponent rolled forward to eyeball him, so Ryan allowed Perplexity to roll along under a balanced, even rhythm. The event didn't change from the time they ran past the winning on the first occasion, until they past it again at the business end of the event.

Ryan counted out even tempo splits and our boy just rolled along. At the 800m he hadn't spent a penny and Ryan just started to increase the tempo approaching the 600m. 

It a couple of strides, he had his opponents off the bit struggling to remain in touch. 

At the 400m Ryan pushed Perplexity's go button and the horse responded putting a widening 3 lengths on his opposition. 

At the 200m, Ryan was looking at the big screen infield and could see he had panels back to his opponents and allowed PERPLEXITY a soft run to the finishing line. 

As easy as it was impressive, more spectacular was the clock ! 

PERPLEXITY recorded a slick 2:16.04 with a final 600m of 34.06 which considering the soft, eased down win, was simply fantastic. This time was just 0.37 secs outside the Open Class Record. 

More incredible is the fact that this was an eased down final furlong yet he ran 34.06 which was only bettered by one other race on the programme which was the $100,000 Open Company 1200m Gold Coast Stakes, which was very competitive with a blanket finish but could only run 0.41 faster.
