Harmonic Way can gain a well-deserved first victory of the season after several creditable efforts in major handicaps by winning the £12,250-added Tote Trifecta Rated Stakes over six furlongs at Salisbury today.

The closest the three-year-old has come to taking a prize this season was in the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket in July when was an excellent third behind Ho Leng and Kuwait, beaten a head and length.

Fifth in the Vodafone Stewards' Cup and seventh in the Tote International Handicap are other notable efforts from the Roger Charlton-trained colt.

Effective at six and seven furlongs, Harmonic Way is probably better over the shorter trip.
