GOING: S(5)

NEW ERA TECHNOLOGY CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1250m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: True.  

From the wide draw Borjnord can cross and set the tempo in a race without genuine pace. VIDIA (12) chased hard with a narrow second to Your Chilli two-back, then came to town with a tiring on-pace last over 1400m at Rosehill in BM64 grade. Finds an easier race from a better gate. Can bounce back quickly. CALL ME SASSY (8) handy mare who savaged the line first-up with a tough second over 1200m at Gosford. Comes to hand quickly and can get over from the sticky gate. ELLISMAYNE (7) lightly raced gelding who resumes after making improvement in all four career runs. Close-up in both trials and looks set for a good campaign. GEMOLOGIST (3) underrated gelding back after a lengthy spell. Assess on his fast finishing third two starts back to Queen Of Clubs over 1400m at Rosehill. Wasn't pushed out in his two trials and gets map favours with the claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 12,8,7,3.
