Godolphin galloper Pericles registered his first win in 12 months with a dominant display in the So You Think Stakes (1500m).

The James Cummings-trained five-year-old had not been successful since winning the Group 2 Tramway Stakes (1400m) on the corresponding weekend last year.

However, Pericles had collected placings in the Silver Eagle, the Golden Eagle, along with Group placings in the Futurity Stakes and Doncaster Mile since that win.

The So You Think Stakes replaced the Group 2 Feehan Stakes (1600m) transferred to the Grand Final Eve meeting at The Valley on September 27.

“He hasn’t won for 12 months but he’s competed at top level for some time now and it’s finally good to see him win again,” Godolphin assistant trainer Nacim Dilmi said.

“He’s been narrowly placed in Group 1’s, so it’s good to see him back and like James said earlier this week, the Underwood would probably be his next start, finishing in Sydney in a race like the Epsom.

“That would be a nice Grand Final.”
