Dissident who came into the race with a win in the Group 1 Memsie Stakes has made it back to back Group 1 victories in a hard fought out contest in the Makybe Diva Stakes in which Caulfield Cup winner Fawkner served it to the favourite all the way down the straight in a thrilling race. Puissance De Lune made steady late ground to finish in third.
