RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: The manners of KEAYANG TWEETYBIRD (9) hold the key to the result of this event. She is very good when she puts it altogether as evidenced by her runaway victory at Terang on July 12. Unfortunately, she has made errors at her past three attempts, but she did step away very fast from the standing start at Maryborough before galloping on the first turn. OFF YOUR FACESKI (10) missed away from the standing start at Stawell two starts ago but he did very well to recover for fourth. He followed with a close up fourth at Melton and should be competitive if he gets away safely. SONARMI JOH (8) is a standing start specialist and continues to build on his consistent record. He was uncharacteristically slow away from behind the tapes but recovered to finish third last outing so he is worth a ticket each way. ITGETSBETTER (3) is racing well and did a good job to finish fourth after sustaining a flat tyre at Ballarat last week. He is worth thought along with MATTYO (2), which performs best when he is close to the speed.
