Nota Lada kicked through early to hold out a desperately driven Farmersntradies at Stawell and was never headed thereafter, dashing to a 19.4-metre triumph in the 2175-metre Rayners Fruit and Vegetables Pace.
The Brad Hunt-trained five-year-old has recently joined the Ararat stable from trainer Shane Tritton.
Nota Lada, by Mach Three out of Hi Ho Silver, sprinted hard down the back and put daylight on his rivals from the 600m. He rated 1:59.8.
Nota Lada had finished third a month ago at Newcastle trials but hadn’t raced since July when sixth at Albion Park.
The impressive winner has been entered for the City of Melton Plate on Saturday night at Tabcorp Park Melton.
