Autumn Stakes (G2)

Age: 3yo Type: OPEN

The Robert Smerdon-trained colt Oak Door continues to race in top form, now winning three of his last four starts. He was again smartly away and soon worked to the lead. He was then able to steady the tempo (first 800m 48.59) before getting a break at the 200m. He then fought back gamely, holding on to score a really good win. Attention began well from barrier eight and was wide early on before settling outside the leader (Oak Door). He was under pressure at the 300m but he kept lifting gamely, holding on for a good second. It was only his second run this preparation so further improvement can be expected. Knowable had a good trip from his inside barrier (1) racing in third place on the rails. He got along the inner from the 200m and kept fighting on well for a close up third. Redouble was fifth on the rails, got a split at the 150m and came with a late run for a good (1.2 lengths) fourth in a very promising effort while Ruthven was sixth, one off the rails, improved (wide) nearing the home turn and then kept battling on quite well for (2.2 lengths) fifth.
