The David Hayes-trained Nicconi has taken out the Group One Coolmore Lightning Stakes (1000m) at Flemington on Saturday.
Nicconi charged down the middle to trump Wanted by a long head and claim its second career G1 victory.
Jockey Damien Oliver switched Nicconi to the inside of Governance at the 350 metres and the champion hoop rode it beautifully all the way to the finish line.
Shellscrape finished in third spot a length further back from Wanted.
