Gothic Stakes (LR)

Age: 3yo Sex: CG Type: OPEN

Mahuta stepped up from winning a Three-Year-Old Maiden Handicap (1450) at Kyneton on 8 October at his third run to win in Listed class here. He began well, soon took the lead and steadied the tempo mid-race (first 800 48.78). He picked up the pace nearing the home turn, grabbed a break on straightening and kept fighting back well in the straight, holding on for a good win. Godolphin’s Holler had a good trip in third place, challenged on turning for home and kept fighting well for a sound second after appearing to have every chance. Flying Light was fourth, one out and one back, moved up under riding at the home turn and battled on in the straight to hold third. Favourite Santa Ana Lane was ridden quietly, remained in last place in the seven-horse field to the home turn, was under pressure on straightening and steadily made ground, without looking likely to threaten, to finish (3.7 lengths) fourth. Metallic Crown was fifth on the rails most of the way and held that position at the finish, beaten just under four lengths while Takedown was outside the leader until nearing the home turn but disappointed, weakening for (4.1 lengths) sixth.
