Sportingbet C.F. Orr Stakes (G1)
Dissident won his fourth Group One race in very good style. He was smartly away and then settled nicely in fourth place, one out and one back, behind a moderate pace (1st 800m 48.71). He switched deep on straightening, sprinted quickly from the 200m and went on to win decisively by a length and a half. Entirely Platinum went to the front, slowed the mid-race tempo and fought back particularly well for a very good first-up second. Mourinho was handily placed, in third spot on the rails to the home turn and fought on really well for a good third. Java raced outside the leader, challenged strongly at the 300m but weakened a little on that effort from the 100m to finish (3.2 lengths) fourth. Spillway was fifth on the rails to the home turn and held on soundly in the sprint home for (3.4 lengths) fifth. Happy Trails was beyond midfield and wide from his difficult barrier (14). He improved (deep) from the 800m and kept fighting on quite well in the sprint home for an encouraging first-up (4.4 lengths) sixth. Petrology was back about tenth, eased out at the 300m but did not threaten in the straight to finish ninth, beaten six lengths.
