Theshark.Com.Au Stakes (G3)

Age: 4yo and up Type: OPEN

The 2012 Blue Diamond Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) winner Samaready scored a good win, having her first run in just over 12 months. She began well and Craig Newitt settled her nicely in fourth spot. She was giving the leader about five lengths as she improved from the 600m and then came with a well-timed run to take the lead at the 100m. She then drew clear to score well by just over a length, her fifth win in only seven starts. Chiaramonte showed good pace from his wide barrier (12) and raced outside the leader (Hadronica) before getting to the lead to the 200m. He then fought back very well for a good second. His Darley stablemate Anise was ridden patiently and settled ninth on the rails. She was about eight lengths from the leader at the 600m, went back to the rails at the 200m and made good ground to grab third at the post. It Is Written was back in sixth place to the home turn. He put in a run on turning for home and continued to battle on nicely for a sound fourth. Neeson was back in fifth place on the rails to the turn. He kept fighting on quite well in the straight to hold that position to the post. Jolie Bay and Pocket Rockets, who were prominent in the betting, were both well back most of the way and disappointed finishing a disappointing 11th and 12th respectively.
