Champion Victorian trainer Mick Price's respect for “underrated” Jungle Magnate reached new heights after his comfortable almost two-length win in the $502,250 South Australian Derby at Morphettville.

The instructions were to ride her where she felt most comfortable, and that sweet spot came late – but it's better late than never.
