New Zealand's reigning Horse of the Year Mufhasa stormed back to his best form with a dominant win in the Group One Fully Fledged Weight-For-Age (1600m) at Otaki on Sunday.

The Stephen McKee-trained gelding led all the way to beat South Islander Hold It Harvey by 1-3/4 lengths, with a neck to Sydney bound mare Daffodil.

The big talking point was the failure of even-money favourite Wall Street who sat three wide and faded out in the final 200 metres to finish ninth, eight lengths from the winner.

The Jeff Lynds-trained galloper was being set on a path to the Doncaster Mile in Sydney on Easter Saturday but an Australian trip may now be in doubt.

Mufhasa was not entered for the Doncaster in which he finished out of the placings last year following his third in the George Ryder Stakes.

Ridden by regular jockey Sam Spratt on Sunday, Mufhasa was the $6.90 third elect after his last-start third to Tavistock in the Group One Waikato Sprint (1400m).

On his favoured good track, Mufhasa went straight to the front, kicked away on the home turn and never looked like being headed.

The time of 1:32.87 was just outside the Otaki track record.

The Pentire gelding claimed a Group One double last season of the Telegraph Handicap and Waikato Sprint, but after an unsuccessful spring campaign in Melbourne he took some time to return to his best form.

Hold It Harvey ran on strongly for second to just pip Daffodil, who tracked Wall Street into the race and ran home steadily without ever looking a winning chance.

The winner of the 2009 AJC Australian Oaks, Daffodil is on target to head to Sydney for the $400,000 Ranvet Stakes (2000m) on March 20, then the $2.25 million BMW (2400m) at Rosehill on April 3.

The mare is on the third line of BMW betting with TAB Sportsbet at $9 behind Alcopop ($7) and Shocking ($8).
