Tamworth R2 Sky Racing Active Pace

Race comment

Beaten 19m 5th $7.50 (Fr5) Love My Sister Maitland 2422m (1:58.8) R6274 race Aug 26 then raced wide early when 21m 8th $3.60 (Fr4) Ferdinand Newcastle 1609m (1:55.0) R6878 race Sep 14. Unlucky last start and likely to appreciate the longer trip here; winner at only previous start at this track and could repeat.

Eased early when 18.5m 4th $34 (Fr6) Love My Sister Maitland 2422m (1:58.8) R6274 race Aug 26 then beaten 40m 9th $101 (Fr5) Darkershadeofpale NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.3) R7092 race Sep 7. Could grab some minor money.

Race comment

Handy effort when 11.5m 8th $51 (Sr2) Tinted Lass Newcastle 1609m (1:56.1) R5770 race Aug 16 then out of position at the start when 10m 6th $41 (Fr8) Mondooley Heaven Newcastle 1609m (1:56.8) R6273 race Sep 14. Drawn awkwardly but could appreciate this trip now and chance here on better form earlier in the prep.

Race comment

Back from a spell. Raced wide early, raced wide and hung in during the race when 62.5m 9th $14 (Fr5) Heavens Hurricane Redcliffe 2040m (1:58.3) C2-C3 race Jun 13 then eased early when 39.5m 10th $26 (Fr6) Shadow Hunter Albion Park 2138m (1:57.9) C2-C3 race Jun 27. Resumes here and could need this run.

Battled on gamely defeating Merry Jasper 0.4m $2.30 (Fr1) Tamworth 1980m (2:02.7) R5667 race Aug 8 then beaten 12.7m 2nd $11 (Sr2) Scotlynn Jiggs NZ Tamworth 1980m (2:00.0) R5783 race Aug 22. Genuine in the money prospect on current form.

Race comment

Hung out when 15.2m 6th $6.00 (Fr2) Havana Moon NZ Albion Park 2138m (1:57.6) R5183 race Sep 7 then finished 13.7m 8th $19 (Sr3) Ark Patrol Albion Park 1660m (1:54.8) R5964 race Sep 12. Returns to his favourite distance range and likely improver from a good gate.

Race comment

Checked when 35.5m 7th $151 (Fr4) Island Banner Newcastle 2550m (2:00.2) R6477 race Sep 6 then eased early when 13.2m 9th $126 (Fr4) Mondooley Heaven Newcastle 1609m (1:56.8) R6273 race Sep 14. Safely held here.

Race comment

Good effort when 0.4m 2nd $8.00 (Fr6) Corsini Tamworth 1980m (2:01.1) R5262 race Aug 22 then was a handy winner $11 (Sr3) defeating Tulhurst Cash 1.7m Tamworth 1609m (2:02.1) R5660 race Sep 5. Warrants consideration on last start win in weaker company.

Race comment

Broke at the start when distanced 10th $18 (Sr4) Bite The Bullet NZ Tamworth 1609m (1:58.3) R6069 race Aug 22 then handy win $4.40 (Sr4) defeating Cause A Big Scene 1.2m Tamworth 1980m (2:01.0) R5463 race Sep 5. Drawn poorly but not out of it on last start win at this track.

Race comment

Raced well when 6.7m 3rd $18 (Fr1) Kid Montana Tamworth 1980m (2:00.0) R6395 race Aug 22 then beaten 27.5m 7th $9.00 (Fr1) Bassey Tamworth 1980m (2:00.1) R6169 race Sep 5. Not hopeless on consecutive minor placings prior to last start below par effort.
