Tamworth R5 SAM ISON MEMORIAL

Race comment

Raced wide early when 2m 3rd $11 (Fr4) Headwin Redcliffe 1780m (1:59.9) R5053 race Mar 12 then was a handy winner $4.00 (Fr3) over Always A Lexus 2.5m Armidale 1980m (2:02.7) R5154 race Mar 15. Last start winner over a longer trip but proven this track and distance and drawn suitably.

Safely held when 6.5m 3rd $9.50 (Sr2) Harbour Town Tamworth 1980m (2:02.1) R5154 race Mar 5 then safely held when 5.5m 4th $15 (Sr3) Shazam Shannon Armidale 1980m (2:02.7) R5154 race Mar 15. Usually thereabouts and stays in the mix.

Checked and broke when 11.5m 8th $7.50 (Sr1) Harbour Town Tamworth 1980m (2:02.1) R5154 race Mar 5 then broke twice in running when 33.5m 9th $15 (Fr4) Shazam Shannon Armidale 1980m (2:02.7) R5154 race Mar 15. Needs to lift.

Race comment

Solid effort when 11.7m 2nd $17 (Fr6) Bettor Getta Lover Armidale 1609m (1:58.3) R4853 race Feb 23 then sound effort when 7m 4th $5.50 (Fr3) Harbour Town Tamworth 1980m (2:02.1) R5154 race Mar 5. Can't ignore on useful second two back.

Race comment

Finished 8.5m 6th $14 (Sr4) Harbour Town Tamworth 1980m (2:02.1) R5154 race Mar 5 then raced roughly when 8.2m 5th $12 (Sr1) Shazam Shannon Armidale 1980m (2:02.7) R5154 race Mar 15. Others read better.

Race comment

Finished 21m 8th $34 (Sr4) Queens Angel Tamworth 1980m (2:00.4) R5468 race Feb 6 then beaten 4.7m 3rd $5.00 (Sr4) Playing Arkabella Tamworth 1980m (2:02.8) R4655 race Mar 5. Unlikely starter.

Race comment

Looked good defeating Mind Of My Own 2.5m $4.20 (Fr2) Albion Park 1660m (1:55.9) R4857 race Mar 6 then covered extra ground when 2.5m 2nd $4.20 (Fr5) Mummys Boy Armidale 1980m (1:59.6) 3R4261 race Mar 15. Holding form well and a leading contender here despite drawing the second row.
