The son of Angus Hall began brilliantly from his 20 metre back mark settling mid field in the running line before producing a withering finale to score running away by 10 metres from Aldebaran Keepa and Anywhere Hugo.

Driver Greg Sugars acknowledged One Over All’s penchant for the tapes.

“There’s no doubt he really loves the standing start conditions and when his mind is on the job he’s pretty good from the mobile too,” Sugars said.

One Over All served notice of a pending win when he finished runner up behind Ollivici at Melton a week earlier.

“He hadn’t had a run or a trial for quite a while so last week was a pipe opener for this race and to see how well he ran last week gave us immense confidence going into tonight,” he said.

“He shows great speed when he is held up for one run and he nearly broke 27 for his last quarter coming wide last week, so we knew he was cherry ripe for tonight.”

Sugars said the five-year-old will continue on the Victorian country cups trail.

“He’s currently the leader in the Maoris Idol Championship and next week is the Shepparton Trotters Cup which is another leg of that series, so he’ll head there and those sort of races for the rest of the season,” he said.
