All Out Henry, the winner two weeks ago, crossed the wire in second-place with Liam Needsome coming on to finish third ahead of favourite Sicario.
Send postward as the 8-5 second choice, Scene A Magician paid $5.40 to win.
The victory was his ninth from 41 lifetime starts and bumped his bankroll to $153,006.
