New winner for Noverre
Noverre has another winner on the board after Platinum La Danse produced a dazzling last-to-first run to break her maiden at just her fourth career start.
The stakes-performed three-year-old filly, trained by Lisa Latta, settled at the rear of the field before unleashing a powerful finishing burst to sweep past her rivals and score a comfortable victory. It was a performance that suggested there is plenty more to come.
Ridden with confidence by Kelly Myers, the daughter of Noverre rounded up the field with ease, rewarding her connections for their patience and marking herself as a filly with a bright future ahead.
Platinum La Danse was bred by Ashburn Lane Investments Ltd and N J McAlister, and was sold by Carlow Park to Mr Kevin Dixon for $45,000 at Karaka in 2025.
