Ortensia, Woorim in Plate comebacks

Wednesday 20 February 2013, 12:39pm

International sprinter Ortensia and last year's winner Woorim head a field of 14 to contest the $400,000 Group One Oakleigh Plate at Caulfield on Saturday.

Ortensia will make her return to Australian racing from barrier four in the sprint after winning Group One races in Dubai and England last year.

The Queensland-trained Woorim resumes in gate 13 after an extended break but won the Oakleigh Plate when first-up in 2012.

West Australian star Barakey will put an unbeaten record on the line from barrier eight.

Barakey has posted 11 victories and is a last-start Group One winner in Perth.

The Robert Smerdon-trained Shamal Wind will be the only three-year-old in the field and the filly has drawn the rails with Glen Boss to take the ride.
