Co-trainer Sam Freedman hopes to take his 3YO places after Elliptical made a winning debut in the A$50,000 Tile Importer Handicap.
The A$380,000 from last year's Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale purchase will be aimed at the qualifiers for Melbourne's premier spring 3YO races.
The highly-strung son of Dundeel, will not be gelded in hopes of enhancing his value next season.
Jockey Mark Zahra positioned Elliptical outside the leader Concentric who established a slow tempo. Elliptical was reluctant to extend over the final 300 meters but did enough to run beyond Concentric and fend off the swooping effort of runner-up Dashing on the soft surface.
The victory provided the Freedman stable with its 100th winner for the 2021/22 season.
