Phantom Spirit, ridden by in-form jockey Lacey Morrison, stretched his winning sequence to four with a near half-length win over the John Manzelmann-trained Gossip Torque.
Most of the six-year-old's owners made the trip to Cooktown to watch their bargain buy register his eighth win in 32 starts.
“He was a cheap buy and only cost his owners about $6,000,” Phantom Spirit's trainer Sharlee Hoffman said.
“We had a brief chat about trying to qualify him for Brisbane.
“The owners are very good and they’re content to just keep racing him up this way.”
One of the qualifying conditions for Country Stampede Finalists at Doomben on December 2 is for starters to have competed in five country race meetings in the past 12 months.
