It was the David Grant trained Canowindra dog's first win since July and the $1300-to-the-winner prize is the most he's made in a single outing.
A slow launch from box three allowed the unfavoured Irinka Jono ($45.10) to take the lead as Mista Grant ($6.70) was forced to work his way into the contest from the back of the field.
Race favourite Gecko Flyer faded in the second section and Irinka Jono looked to be holding on to defy the odds but Mista Grant, who was last to jump from the boxes, stormed home to pip the Mark Ancliffe chaser on the line.
The time recorded was 30.20s.
Grant had no luck after the final with Cheeky Grant running fourth in the Vine Venture Tours Stakes.
