Adding value to the winning Trifecta were second placegetter Huckleberry Dane ($6 on the Place) and Atomic Force in third.
Ridden by champion hoop Corey Brown, Temple Of Boom settled just worse than midfield after the jump but quickly rushed up to sit fifth on the outside.
Early leaders in the Magic Millions Sprint wear Jypsiere and Monashee Dancer who went hard before Huckleberry Dane and Temple Of Boom raced up to challenge.
In a thrilling two-horse race down the straight, roughie Huckleberry Dane and favourite Temple Of Boom fought it out stride for stride.
Liam Birchley’s fast finishing Huckleberry Dane ($26 Luxbet), just couldn’t hold on and Temple Of Boom nosed them out to score a narrow victory.
Temple Of Boom has won seven of their 18 career starts, their total career prize money now exceeding $583,000.
As the countdown to the day’s feature event continues, punters will want to get in on the action of the next Magic Millions showdown and place a bet on Race 5 – the $328,000 Magic Millions Cup (1400m) – due to jump at 3:20pm (AEDST).
