Dodging Bullets (5/1) ended a frustrating run of placed efforts when coming good under Ben Curtis in the www.totegoracingclub.com Handicap.

The Dubawi gelding was sent clear off the home bend to quickly put the race to bed, and kept on well to beat the well-backed 7/4 favourite Spirit Of Cuba by two and a half lengths. A Word Apart (13/2) was another length and a quarter away in third.

Winning trainer Andrew Oliver said, “Everything worked out well, and Ben gave him a great ride. He's been improving all year, although it took him a few runs for the penny to drop. He's hardy and I've been keeping him busy but he's got his reward now.”
