The five year old had had just two previous starts on the all-weather, winning once and the market spoke strongly in his favour in the seven-furlong Ladbrokes Handicap. <\/p>\n
The 2\/1 favourite scored by a length and a half from two horses trained by Marco Botti, Solar Deity (7\/2) and Grey Mirage (6\/1), who were separated by a half-length. <\/p>\n
The winning jockey Silvestre de Sousa said: \"He has done it well enough from a wide draw. He was spot on.\" <\/p>\n
De Sousa doubled his tally for the evening in the Download The Ladbrokes App Claiming Stakes as the Ian Williams-trained Alakhan (2\/1 favourite) held off all challengers to score by half a length. <\/p>\n
The third race on the card, the Class Two 32Red Handicap, was also worth over 12,000 to the winner and saw the James Tate-trained Bin Singspiel (7\/2) win in excellent style. <\/p>\n
The three year old took over the lead from Expert Fighter (3\/1 Fav) entering the straight and ran on strongly under Luke Morris to score by four lengths with Kiama Bay another four and a half lengths back in third. <\/p>\n
