awkward draw to settle second-last before allowing Demand Respect to stride around to the death at the 1300m.
He started to pressure the leader Iden Black Prince on the home turn and eventually got the better of that horse at the 100m but Itz Montana Jet was looming ominously on the outside.
However, just when it looked like he might surrender the lead, Demand Respect kicked a metre clear and, although Itz Montana Jet kept coming, he held on to score by a head.
"He's a nice horse who should go through the classes," McKenzie said.
"He had a tricky draw (inside the second row) but I left it to Ricky to sort that out."
Demand Respect has now won five of his 13 starts and been unplaced only twice.
Itz Montana Jet was driven by Rohan Hillier who had earlier won the opening heat on the Paul Ashwood-trained mare Nova Baxter.
Hillier settled Nova Baxter in eighth place from outside the second row but, when Mozasu worked to the lead at the 1400m, the race changed complexion and he suddenly found himself one-out
and one-back.
Nova Baxter loomed to challenge three wide on the home turn and quickly put the issue beyond doubt as she raced away to score by 12m.
She rated 1:58.39 for the 2200m - considerably quicker than Demand Respect and Itz Montana Jet - and should keep her male rivals busy in the $12,000 final on Sunday week.
IZAHA ATONES FOR CUP MISFORTUNE Proven pacer Izaha broke an 11-month, 15-start losing streak streak when he led throughout in the Rating 75-105 Pace.
The Todd Rattray-trained seven-year-old had been knocking on the door with some good recent runs, including a luckless fourth in the Devonport Cup when he was severely checked with 450m to
go.
Not surprisingly, he started $1.60 in a considerably easier race and never looked in danger as he strolled home by 7m in 1:57.5.
Izaha almost completed the Sires Stake treble in his glory days, finishing second to Feelin Dusty in the Dandy Patch before winning the Globe Derby and Raider Stakes.
Eight-year-old gelding Scotlynn Beach hadn't won back-to-back races since he was a three-year-old but he achieved that feat with a tough staying effort in the Rating 55-59 Pace.
Driver Malcolm Jones worked around the field to find the death at the 1700m and, after reaching the lead on the home turn, Scotlynn Beach held on gamely to beat the fast-finishing The Dude
by 2m with pacemarker Kiavino Stride 5-1/2m away third.
The former Kiwi, who raced in Victoria and WA before finding his way to Sidmouth trainer Mark Jones, has now won 13 races.
