The New Zealand gelding reeled in Adam Ruggari-trained race favourite Far Out Bro in the closing stages of the 2422 metre journey.
It developed into a two-way battle down the home straight after Far Out Bro made a move forward midway through the last lap.
Chevron Art, trained by Sydney-based Jack Trainor and driven by Morisset-bred Jack Callaghan, paid $5.80 on the TAB tote.
Callaghan has returned to the track after being sidelined with a positive COVID-19 result just prior to Christmas.
Stylish Joe, prepared by Ty Robson, recovered from a poor start to finish third.
What's Your Secret, Drum Withers and Captain Dan were the frontrunners at the first turn.
Stealth Bomba was a late scratching following Just Dessy's earlier withdrawal.
