Isopach Wins Oaklands Plate

Patinack Farm had three runners out of six starters in Saturday’s Listed $80,000 Adelaide Casino Oaklands Plate (1600m) at Morphettville and that representation proved enough to win the two-year-old feature.
However it didn’t come from $1.90 favourite Win For Wilson as many expected. Instead it was third favourite Isopach ($3.80) that claimed the $50,000 first prize with a stunning last-to-first victory.
Ridden by Mark Zahra, Isopach settled last on the rails before giving chase to Win For Wilson and Pump It at the front of the field, hugging the fence all the way to hit the lead inside the final 100 metres and win by a half length.
Pump It ($3.20) finished second while Win For Wilson weakened into third place, just over a further length away.
Isopach, who finished fifth last start in the Group 3 SAJC Sires’ Produce (1400m), finished in the placings for the first time this time from five career starts.
