In form mare Second To Nun will chase a fifth win in succession in Saturday’s $120,000 JRA Plate (Premier’s Plate) at Morphettville.
Co-trainer Will Clarken confirmed the mare will back-up in the Listed feature following her Strathalbyn Cup success last Friday.
Second To Nun will try and better the deeds of her mother Tidy Prophet who finished fourth in the 2016 feature before winning the Port Lincoln Cup.
She is one of a host of key local nominations and will carry 54kg with Adelaide Cup hopeful The Map and Hasta La War both resuming in the 2006m race.
Hasta La War is set to shoulder the top weight of 60kg, while The Map was allocated 54.5kg.
Leading Victorian trainers Ben, Will and J d Hayes have dual nominations in the race.
Last-start Moonee Valley winner Independent Road was given 59kg while Port Guillaume was given 57kg.
11 on the 18 nominations are on the minimum.
