GOING: G(4)

COURTNEY KEEFFE - ELDERS REAL ESTATE HANDICAP 1900m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 26)   Rail: True.  

A solid tempo is anticipated with Miff Muffered Moof and Butterflyrock kicking up to hold out the next wave. KNOCKONEBACK (6) has been getting a long way back in his races at Ascot, though he was a winner three back at Pinjarra. His ratings stack up highly for this and he may be able to take closer order from a good draw today. He brings in a different form line and that makes plenty of appeal. BUTTERFLYROCK (1) got back to winning ways 24 days ago with a 0.6L victory over this course and distance. She can sit handy from a nice barrier today and two winners have come out from behind him. Can win again. MIFF MUFFERED MOOF (7) steps out in trip for the second time today and has pushed Butterflyrock in recent times at this track and trip. Can roll forward from the barrier and will take catching. TRADED CROWN (5) was beaten 1.9L by Butterflyrock last start when favourite and gets a chance to turn the tables today. Better placed at the weights and he should be going close. BAYHARA (2) can build on a good win last start. SUGGESTED PLAY: Knockoneback makes plenty of appeal.

Going well. Most recently ran on from midfield and won by 0.6 len at this track Rtg 58+ January 27 over 1925m defeating Kazkazi carrying 57.5kg at $6. The run before that made ground from midfield; 3rd of 10 at this track Walkaway Cup on December 27 over 2100m, 1.3 len behind Hard Questions with 54.5kg at $12. No reason she cannot get the job done again.
