Paulele will now be aimed at gaining a spot on the Darley stallion roster with Group 1 targets this autumn.
An all-the-way win in the Eskimo Prince Stakes gave him a fifth win from five runs at Randwick and trainer James Cummings has plenty of options for his charge.
The three-year-old colt won the Roman Consul Stakes in the spring, with the Canterbury Stakes and Oakleigh Plate both options for the son of Dawn Approach, and he is priced as a 12/1 chance in the latter, which will be available on Sports Live Streaming platform.

In what was a third success at stakes level for Paulele, Kerrin McEvoy delivered the $3.10 favourite into a nice rhythm out in the front before kicking strongly when challenged by the eventual placegetters.
His performance denyied Ranch Hand by a half-length with Converge close-up in third.
Trainer Cummings believes Paulele is worthy of another shot at the elite-level, having run down the field in the Coolmore Stud Stakes in the spring.
"There's no doubt the horse is going very well and it is a matter for us now just to pick our target and do our best to get him to win a race good enough to stand him on the (Darley) roster," Cummings said.
"He is a really exciting colt. He's got a great record and he has now come back in his autumn three-year-old preparation winning first-up.
"Hopefully we can find the right target for him either next start or maybe two runs away."
