McGrath Agents Sky High Stakes (G3)
The consistent four-year-old Entirely Platinum continued his progression through the classes, stepping up to take out this Group Three event. He enjoyed a good trip behind the free-running leader Julienas to the home turn. He took the lead passing the 300m and went on to score nicely by a length and a quarter. Midsummer Sun travelled nicely in seventh place on the rails before switching between runners nearing the home turn. He got into the clear at the 200m and then plugged on well for an encouraging second, looking suited to further. Desert Jeuney was fourth on the rails, went to third at the 200m and battled on quite well to hold that position to the post. Let’s Make A Deal did not show any early pace and was a clear last to the home turn. She fanned wide on straightening and kept running on well, making good ground for fourth and looks on track for a longer distance event over the carnival. Top weight (59kg) Julienas led to the 300m and battled on quite well for fifth while the favoured pair, equal favourites at $4.00, Diametric (seventh) and Prince Cheri (eighth) both disappointed. *ANZ
