Sportingbet R Sangster Classic (G1)

Age: 3yo and up Sex: FM Type: OPEN

Platelet began quickly and took up a prominent position settling sixth three horses off the fence from her wide barrier (11). Approaching the turn she was travelling kindly and was poised to challenge. She switched to the outside and once balanced showed a sparkling turn of foot to dash past Snitzerland hitting the lead at the 200m. She was able to sustain her sprint just long enough to claim her first Group One victory. Angelic Light travelled inside of Platelet but was slightly crowded for room in the straight. She still managed to finish a close second. Yosei was the unlucky runner. Held up at the rear she could not find a clear passage and was blocked for a run until the 100m. When the gap came she flashed to the line in a very good return. The favourite Snitzerland led setting a moderate tempo but weakened noticeably at the 200m to finish seventh. *ANZ
