Awapuni trainer Lisa Latta Racing picked up her first black-type success for the 26/27 season over the weekend. Taking out the Group 3 Sweynesse Stakes with the speedy Platinum Attack.

Partnered with champion jockey Opie Bosson, the 6YO gelding was given a perfect run in transit before hitting the front with 150m to go. Eased down over the concluding stages, Platinum Attack proved far too good for his rivals, scoring a commanding and comfortable victory.

Congratulations to Lisa and the team on a fantastic result!
