Silmarillion runs up to form in the Atlantic Jewel Stakes

There is never good thing in racing, but if ever there was one, it was Godolphin filly Silmarillion in the Listed Atlantic Jewel Stakes (1200m).

At her last start, The James Cummings-trained Silmarillion split Ameena and Manaal in the Group 2 Silver Shadow Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on August 24.

Ameena and Manaal met again in the Group 2 Furious Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on Saturday, finishing one-two, 15 minutes before Silmarillion hit the track.

Silmarillion was sent out the $2.50 favourte and duly registered a three-quarter length win.

Winning jockey Kerrin McEvoy said the filly may be able to stretch out further in time.

“It was nice just to be able to get a sit on them today,” McEvoy said.

“The other day I probably just hit the front a little bit early on her and we were left a sitting shot after being there on the pace in a fast-run race.

“Today she got a nice trail, and she showed a good little kick when I asked her.

“I’m sure James will have something in the pipeline for her next.”
