Kemalpasa wins Tab Stakes Group 2, $300,000 at Flemington, 1200m.
Last start Adelaide Listed winner Kemalpasa continues a super consistent run of form, this his fourth win in succession and ninth in 22 starts.
In the middle of the track he got away well to lead or co-lead early then dropped back a half length into second at the crossing.
Under a hold he waited until the 400m to range up, took over at the 300m and kept inching further into the lead inside the 200m.
To the line he was not in any danger and kept going strongly, a comfortable length and a quarter in front and a nice win.
Order Of Command sat equal last near the crossing, improved quickly between runners at the 300m and set out after the leader.
He closed well but was never going to catch the winner. Zoutori was also equal last at the crossing and kept up a long run, lunging late to grab third from Malibu Style ,who was fifth at the 400m, ran up to be third but was out-finished late, to hold fourth.
