Classy sprinter Here De Angels added another feature to his resume when he cruised to victory in today's $100,000 listed Christmas Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield.

Prepared by Melbourne Cup winning horseman Mark Kavanagh, Here De Angels over came an awkward barrier, a big weight and a wide run to win in great style.

The classy gelding by Dehere, now six, is in great form and he will most likely run in another Melbourne feature sprint in a fortnight.

"It was a good win," Kavanagh's foreman Merv Harvey said. "He's got a bit on them."

"Even though he had the weight to carry, he carries the weight well and the horse hasn't been going any better."

Harvey said the race went according to plan and connections were feeling very confident of success a long way from home.

"You wanted to get on at the 600. He was just travelling so good."

Here De Angels was racing for the first time since running second, when beaten a nose, at Flemington over the carnival.

He had won his previous race, a $100,000 contest, at Caulfield by almost three lengths.

"We decided to freshen him up after the spring carnival. He's a bit of a hard horse to place."

"So we came to this race and there's another one in a fortnight and we'll play it by ear from there."

Winning rider Steven Arnold said Here De Angels gave him a great feel throughout and was always travelling well.

"The class came through," Arnold said. "He had a bit of weight but he's a really good sprinter - a first class sprinter."

"He travelled beautifully in the run," he added. "He's racing really well."

Here De Angels has turned out to be a great money spinner for his connections after being purchased for just $90,000 by Slade Bloodstock from the 2005 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale.

His impressive record now reads out at 10 wins and four minor placings from 26 starts and earnings of over $570,000.

A three quarter sister to Here De Angels - by Dehere and from his unraced Spinning World half sister Sam's Belle - will go under the hammer at January's Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale.

The filly, a member of the draft from Glastonbury Farms, is lot 555 and will be auctioned on January 8 at the famous Magic Millions Sales Complex.
