GOING: G(3)

COURTNEY KEEFFE- ELDERS REAL ESTATE HANDICAP 1217m

Track: GOOD3   Clear (Max: 30)   Rail: +5m entire.  

Just a moderate tempo headed by Undercover Sniper, Hot Nova and Kimberley Currency. DEEP DISCRETION (3) will find this easier than her re3cent efforts when tackling metropolitan company at Belmont. Drops to country level now for Galati who is in fine form of late. Maps to get every chance and she looks beautifully placed to return to winning ways. KARRI ON (7) gets Riordan in the saddle today meaning she'll carry no weight third-up into the campaign. The inside barrier can see her sit much closer than we have in recent starts and improvement is on the cards. UNDERCOVER SNIPER (1) bumped into a big winner at this track and trip here last week and draws to sit up on the speed this time around. The claim comes in handy and he's likely to be in the finish once again. CHAMPEZE (4) will find this much easier than what she's been racing in recently and can make a bright start for the new stable. KIMBERLEY CURRENCY (2) is better than we saw last start and can bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Deep Discretion gets the nod.
