Skiddaw Peak is set to campaign through to the winter with the Group One Doomben Cup as his ultimate aim following his victory in the Listed Anniversary Vase at Caulfield.

The Generous five-year-old completed a two-state double for Flemington trainer Mike Moroney who earlier won with Divine Rebel in the Listed Epona Stakes (1900m) at Rosehill.

Skiddaw Peak ($6), who gave Glen Boss a winning double after he won aboard the Mick Price-trained Royal Charades in the Miss Finland Hcp (1200m), scored by a nose from Sound Journey ($7) with Pinnacles ($4.20) 1-1/4 lengths away third.

"That's two springs we've missed with him now. He's a horse who likes the autumn so we'll continue on with him now, probably right through the winter because he's a horse we just can't get right in the spring," Moroney said.

Moroney said the gelding would run in the Listed Auckland Racing Club Hcp (1600m) at Flemington on April 25, a race he won last year, before going to Adelaide for the Group Three $170,000 Gerard Corporation Stakes (1600m) at Morphettville on May 9.

"We'll get on the road with him and possibly end up having a crack at the Doomben Cup with him," he said.

"He came back looking great last spring - the spring before he came back looking ordinary - we thought we had him right but he just went backwards with his work."

Despite not coming up in springtime, Skiddaw Peak has built up a good record of eight wins and three thirds from 18 starts and apart from his two Listed race wins he also defeated Pinnacles in a tight finish to the 2008 Echuca Cup (1400m).

Yalumba Stakes winner Douro Valley worked home well under his big weight of 61kg to finish sixth, while Cox Plate runner-up Zipping did likewise under topweight of 62kg to finish seventh of the 14 runners over the unsuitable 1400m trip.

Vlad Duric cut the corner on Falaise ($4 fav) on a day when riders were content to come four wide away from the rail and he wound up fourth with Our Smoking Joe, under new trainer Ray Coombes, a pleasing fifth.

Earlier, Raffaello won his second successive race at his third start for new trainer Mark Kavanagh in the Doncaster BMW Hcp (1700m) to earn a crack at the Group Three Easter Cup (2000m) at Caulfield on April 11.

Having won a midweek 1400m race at Sandown on March 18 under 58kg, the Encosta De Lago four-year-old entire had a seven-kilo weight drop in Saturday's event.

Ridden by apprentice Ibrahim Gundogdu, Raffaello ($4.20 fav) settled well in seventh place and finished strongly to score by 2-1/4 lengths from Light Vision with Daka's Gem 3-3/4 lengths away third.

Topweight and Melbourne Cup placegetter C'est La Guerre raced in third spot but weakened under his 60kg to finish fifth.
