NEW ERA TECHNOLOGY MAIDEN HANDICAP 1500m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 25)   True  

Lady Pankhurst to take up the running at a moderate tempo. COLUMBUS (2) got a fair way back before winding up late to finish third in an impressive debut over 1400m at this track a couple of weeks back. Cost $1.5 million as a yearling so expectations will be high. Great chance to break through over this slightly longer journey. LUPA CAPITOLINA (8) ran a better race last time out when lining up for only the second time, making a little late ground to finish a close fifth over this trip at Kembla. Can improve again and play a major role. IRONHEART (4) was prominent on straightening but couldn't finish off when fifth in the same race as Columbus here recently. Lightly raced and can do more. HELL ISLAND (6) has struggled on wet decks in his three starts to date. Was well supported last time - may have more to offer on a good track. LADY PANKHURST (1) is fitter for two runs back from a spell and can finish this off strongly with a cosy passage from an inside gate assured. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Columbus.

Most recently ran last in a small field at Goulburn Mdn-Sw on September 12 over 1400m, in the wet; 8 len behind Bobs Back with 56.5kg at $2.70. The start before that 5th of 11 at Kembla Grange Cge Mdn-Sw on August 30 over 1200m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Ruination carrying 56.5kg at $51. Maybe blame the heavy track for that failure - deserves another chance on top of the ground.
