GOING: G(3)

WALKAWAY CUP DECEMBER 27TH HANDICAP 1931m

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

Just a moderate tempo headed by Sanabeau, Miff Muffered Moof and Bayhara. BUTTERFLYROCK (2) has been building into the campaign nicely and now she looks ready to strike out to her pet trip. Her old sparring partner Altieri hops back in the saddle and the inside draw should see her get every chance in the run. Can improve on her latest performance and land the knockout blow. HARD QUESTIONS (5) finished off strongly over the 1619m journey here last time out, finishing 1.7L off the winner. The better draw and rise in trip today can see her a little closer in the run today and he remains down in the weights following the claim of Riordan. Can make his presence felt third-up. SANABEAU (8) was too strong from the front last start when winning by 0.9L over the 1619m journey. Nottle's 2kg claim comes in handy and she can dictate from the front. Can be tough to run down. MYSTICAL MAN (4) is better than he showed last time out and can bounce back to form returning to this track and trip. BAYHARA (3) create some interest landing here second-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Butterflyrock gets the nod in the last.
