Ridden by apprentice jockey Mikaela Lawrence, Arachadi was having her first career start in the $30,000 feature.
The daughter of Super One had one public trial in the lead-up at Tatura where she finished runner-up.
Arachadi ($12) sat off a hot tempo set by race favourites Eureka Storm ($2.05-fav) and Deep Point ($2.90).
Lawrence hooked Arachadi out into the middle of the track turning for home where she showed a good turn of foot to easily overhaul the tiring favourites.
