GOING: G(4)

HKJC WORLD POOL FERNHILL MILE 1600m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 5.21)  

They should run this along with Spicy Lu and Lady Pankhurst taking it up over Tupakara. LADY PANKHURST (7) nice filly with an unorthodox prep heading into this. Back in grade and trip when second to Oakfield Jupiter over 1000m at Wyong nine days ago. Her dam won the Wakeful Stakes (2000m), and she gives the impression the mile will suit. Goes close. TUPAKARA (1) four-start maiden who closed off strongly when third to the smart Nepotism over 1400m in the G3 TL Baillieu Handicap at Rosehill. Gets map favours here but must give weight to her rivals. Genuine top three player. MICHELANGELO (4) crying out for the mile after chipping away late when an unlucky sixth over 1400m in the G3 The TL Baillieu Handicap at Rosehill. Worth plenty of thought if he can race a little closer to the speed. POLISH PLAYGIRL (2) imposing filly who relished the extra ground at her second race start when a fighting third over 1400m at Flemington in the VG 2yo Plte. Winkers come off and ready to win. SPICY LU (5) tough filly from the Nick Olive yard undefeated in two runs. Keep safe from the draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lady Pankhurst in an even contest.

Puts an unbeaten record on the line. When well in the market on debut, raced right near the speed and boxed on; scored a big 3 len win at Cowra Mdn-Sw March 10 over 1200m defeating Fireup carrying 53.5kg at $3.70. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a head at Albury Ctry Cl1 March 20 over 1400m in soft going defeating Rose Aye carrying 53.5kg at $6. Key runner who is a great chance to measure up again.
