Meanwhile, stablemate Lyre, trained by Anthony Freedman and the mount of Zac Spain, finished a creditable third in the same race.
Elsewhere, at Gold Coast, at the Gold Coast Turf Club, Exhilarates, conditioned by Cummings and the ride of Robbie Fradd, was third in the Group 3 Gold Coast Guineas.
"That puts an exclamation mark on our Adelaide campaign," an ecstatic Cummings said on Saturday.
"He's a class horse and he needed to show it today.We've seen some good performances in the Godolphin colours today, the wind is in our sails. Reg Fleming and the team in Melbourne have looked after him very-very well and they've presented him in fabulous order today," he added.
