The Barry Lockwood-trained Give Me Space ($17.00) has bloused his rivals to claim victory in the Group 3 Vo Rogue Plate (1300m) at Eagle Farm on Saturday afternoon.
The son of Cosmic Force put the writing on the wall in his latest runner-up effort at Eagle Farm on December 7, going one better courtesy of a perfectly timed steer by Irish hoop Luke Dempsey, who secured his first Group win.

The Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained Catoggio ($8.00) pressed forward to maintain a moderate tempo throughout the 1300m journey, allowing some of the key back makers to come into play.
Street Chase ($26.00) and Hella Fast ($31.00) made strong inroads at a big price with horse racing bookmakers to put value in the exotics; however, they were no match for Give Me Space, powering over the top of his rivals to claim victory by a half-length on the wire.
Give Me Space is now a $11.00 chance with Neds for the Magic Millions 3yo Guineas (1400m) worth $3 million on January 11.
