Returning four-year-old outright winner Schwarz scored the biggest win of his career in a nerve-racking finale in the $300,000 Group 2 Darley Missile Stakes (1200m) at Randwick.
The $2.45 favourite TABtouch, who led throughout last season's Hawkesbury Guineas, was well led by jockey James McDonald to finish fourth as Much Much Better ($9) shot into the lead.
