“I have not ridden her since she trialled a month ago but gee she has improved in that time,” Bullock said.
“I think she is going to develop into a really nice middle-distance horse, perhaps not this time but next preparation and beyond.
“As we all know Kris is very patient with his horses.”
Bullock settled Chilly Cha Cha in fourth place early, went to the outside approaching the turn then worked to the line strongly to beat the Rod Northam trained Valree (Daniel Northey) in a time just outside the class record.
Bullock will return to Muswellbrook on Tuesday which is of course Melbourne Cup day.
He has five rides so is bound to bag a winner.
