Peter Moody extended his Melbourne dominance to the start of the Sydney autumn carnival when Master Harry rallied from the canvas with a heart-stopping Royal Sovereign Stakes win at Randwick.

Twenty minutes after Moody watched Horse Of The Year Typhoon Tracy claim another Group One trophy in the CF Orr Stakes at Caulfield, a stable lesser light made a name for himself against Sydney's best three-year-old colts and geldings.

Lightly-raced Master Harry produced a back-from-the-brink effort to claim the Group Two feature, a short half-head in front of the Queenslander Audacious Spirit ($21) with Skilled ($13) a nose away third.

The win capped another stellar day for Moody with Typhoon Tracy making a hat-trick of Caulfield black-type wins for the trainer after One Last Dance won a Blue Diamond Prelude and Miss Gai Flyer's victory in the Kevin Hayes Stakes.

In a blanket finish to the Royal Sovereign, the first five horses across the line finished within a half-length of each other, including the fast-finishing Ilovethiscity (fourth).

But it was Master Harry, backed late from $7 to $6, who confirmed Moody can do no wrong at the moment after jockey Tim Clark had resigned himself to defeat.

"I thought I had got beaten," he said. "He travelled kindly in front but he struggled to quicken.

"I think a bit of race fitness helped in the end and to my horse's credit he got there."

A veteran of just three starts before Saturday's assignment, Master Harry went into the race as a Listed stakeswinner on debut at Flemington almost 12 months ago but was coming off a Moonee Valley defeat under lights when resuming.

He left the gates on terms before taking up the running but was clearly headed by Audacious Sprint in the straight.

Audacious Spirit was able to put a clear margin on Master Harry, so much so Moody's travelling foreman Andrew Gilfeather had conceded the hit-and-run mission was doomed.

"I definitely thought he was gone but he's shown a bit of ticker there," Gilfeather said.

"He's done what you've only got to do and that's stick his head out at the right time."

Master Harry arrived in Sydney on Friday and he will be on a return float to Melbourne on Sunday.

"The job's done with him now and the boss (Moody) will sit down and work out where next to go with him," Gilfeather said.

Audacious Spirit pleased trainer Gillian Heinrich despite being nosed out after having the race within his keeping.

"We brought him down here to see where he is in relation to the other three-year-olds," she said.

"He's always had ability and now the Hobartville Stakes will be next."

Skilled stormed home to grab the minor placing after racing at the tail of the field and stamped himself as a genuine autumn contender.

"You couldn't have asked for a better return," jockey Kerrin McEvoy said.

Race favourite Masquerader ($3.50) blew his chances after missing the start and then overracing before finishing sixth while Group One winner Pressday dropped out to finish eighth after being caught off the track.
