Scatter Dice in Cesarewitch shocker Scatter Dice stayed on dourly to win the Betfred Cesarewitch under Silvestre de Sousa. Mark Johnston's charge, an unconsidered 66/1 chance, was returning to winning ways in a first time visor and made relentless headway to lay down a challenge to eventual third Lieutenant Miller (10/1) approaching the final furlong. She soon had his measure and ran went on to score by three lengths from Waterclock (20/1) on her 16th start of the campaign. Chiberta King (20/1) was fourth while Pallasator's fifth placing means Sir Mark Prescott's quest for a first winner in the race continues. "It's unbelievable. She's such a trier. She a visor on for the first time but she was just a bit sleepy (in the stalls). She's done really well," de Sousa told Channel 4 Racing. Johnston, winning the race for a third time, said: "She's had a long, hard season but has run well on so many occasions. "She's going to retire at the end of the year, that was the plan anyway, so I suppose this was her last chance. "She's run a couple of strange races recently, dropping herself out, so I was a bit concerned in the first half of the race that she was all right but then I saw her hanging in with the pack. I saw her coming from a quite a long way out."
