Lope De Capio wins 2017 Programmed Durbridge Stakes Listed $100,000 at Morphettville (SA), 1200m.
Lope De Capio had this, his seventh win and second successive listed win, in the bag a long way from home to win easily. He settled fourth in the small field, moved forward to challenge near the last corner, ranged up alongside the leaders when they straightened and strode clear to win as he liked.
Casino Wizard lay second mostly, joined the leader before straightening but had no chance of holding the winner from Lord Aspen, who was third to the last corner and ran on for third without threatening - the first three having the finish to themselves.
