GOING: G(3)

GREAT WESTERN INSURANCE BROKERS HANDICAP 1600m

Track: GOOD 3   Clear (Max: 32)   Rail: Out 2m Entire.  

With no recognised leader engaged it might be left to Rock Dee Jay, Call Me Violet and Miff Muffered Moof to control the tempo. JURUENA GOLD (2) has been mixing his form this prep and ran one of his better races when finishing runner-up here 10 days ago, just over a length from the winner. He has 3 placings over the trip and can open up his win account here in this. MIFF MUFFERED MOOF (6) won a brace here earlier in the year and her recent 2 misses have been in far stronger company. She is nicely placed at this level and has a nice draw upgrade from her last run here 10 days ago. The extra furlong is ideal and she is capable of taking it out. STAY ASTERN (4) may have found 1900 metres a touch too far for him last time out on this track. He is better off over a mile and is worth including in all combinations. BAYHARA (5) flew home to win here by a short-head in her penultimate run before finishing a brave runner-up here as favourite last start. She has hit her straps lately and can make an immediate return to the winners' circle here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miff Muffered Moof each-way.
