Maryborough Race 8 - Worlds Best Hoof Oil Trotters Hcp
KEAYANG TWEETYBIRD (9) went back last start and didn't measure up when 130 metres from the winner in seventh at Ballarat over 2200m. Has failed to fire since she scored at Terang on July 12. Finds a tougher race but a better run is on the cards. FREMARKS PEGGY (3) won at this track two runs ago before finishing fourth at her latest appearance over 2190m at this track, beaten 12 metres. Forgive that last effort. Good enough to take out a race like this. JOHNS BOY NZ (11) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 2300m at Menangle. JACK SPRAT (8) is the next elect off a last-start win by 6 metres at Melton over 2240m.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Fremarks Peggy at this track over 2190m on June 29 at $23. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Maestro at this track over 2190m on July 13 at $9.50. Sure to be thereabouts.

Didn't do much last time out, 7th (Fr3) over 2240m at Melton beaten 85 m by No Money No Honey (2:46.00) in M on July 25 at $71. Before that 6th (FT) over 2190m at this track was 7th-19 at the bell, beaten 19 m by Maestro (2:47.00) on July 13 at $126. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Recent form below what she is capable of. Last start 7th (30m) over 2200m at Ballarat, well beaten by Acool Investment (2:49.50) on July 29 at $1.65. The run before 7th (Sr1) over 1720m at Melton, well beaten by Skybella (2:06.60) on July 25 at $3.40. Worth another chance. Better than last start and can improve sharply.
