Say From SA – December 8

3 minute read

Nominations had to be extended for most races this week so no surprise with the field sizes.

Platinum Angel
Platinum Angel Picture: Racing and Sports

The Listed City Of Marion Stakes is the feature race and we’re keen on one here.

Darren Weir nominated three horses but decided to accept with just Platinum Angel.

The mare has run well twice and on the other occasion she suffered from cardiac arrhythmia so just ignore that.

From the good gate, she can settle midfield rather than be forced to get a long way off them.

The minimum weight offers her every chance and she is not meeting rivals in sparkling form.

The stable can do little wrong so it’s easy to stick with the Weir team.

Hoping for some value in the last in the form of the resuming Lady Of Crebilly.

This mare has only run well first up in the past. She’s been around the mark in trials winning her most recent nicely.

She runs on any surface and gets back anyway so the gate is not a big hurdle.

With no weight on her back after Chris Caserta’s claim, she can charge down the outside at odds that should only get better.

City Of Marion Stakes (LR)

WT: 54.0kg Type: OPEN

After two years and thirteen starts, former Group 2 winner Illustrious Lad returned to the winner's circle with a hardy effort here. He settled fourth (rails) soon after the start and had cover there all the way to the home straight. Full of running he just need space which opened at the 300m then closed but opened again at the 150m where jockey Anthony Darmanin drove him through, levelled up at the 50m and held on narrowly but well for win ten (fourth stakes) and earnings in excess of $800,000. Nariko sat fifth, three wide at the 600m, moved up to make a line of three at the top of the straight, took over at the 200m but was caught at the 50m then fought hard to the line. Platinum Angel tracked the winner (rails) into the straight but never got a run, flashing into third on the heels of the winner very late. There was a good line up for fourth with Karlovasi coming back hard when appearing to fade at the 100m.
