Tamworth R5 LEST WE FORGET PACE

Race comment

Covered extra ground when 6.5m 4th $13 (Fr9) Jerulas Grin Menangle 1609m (1:53.2) 3R4857 race Mar 3 then broke during running when 51m 8th $15 (Fr4) Focus Stride Bathurst 2260m (1:57.4) 3R4561 race Mar 23. Tends to find trouble in his races but more than capable on his day; definite contender with a right run.

Race comment

Hung out, inconvenienced and tightened during running when 16.2m 6th $17 (Fr3) Has The Courage Newcastle 2030m (2:01.4) R4661 race Mar 28 then beaten 28m 9th $23 (Fr7) Miss Ciriello Newcastle 2030m (1:59.2) R5568 race Apr 6. Fitter for two recent runs and could improve with even luck from an awkward draw.

Race comment

Out of position at the start when 12.2m 2nd $2.10 (Sr1) Casino Comedy Inverell 2000m (2:06.3) R3956 race Mar 29 then sound effort when 6.5m 5th $2.00 (Sr3) Mickey Ramone Tamworth 1980m (2:00.0) R5055 race Apr 13. Mixed form this prep but close to peak fitness now and not out of it.

Race comment

Finished 60m 7th $7.50 (Fr1) Point Oh Five Inverell 2000m (2:05.2) R5155 race Mar 29 then fought on well defeating Dennington Heights 0.5m $31 (Fr3) Tamworth 1980m (2:00.0) R5055 race Apr 13. Winner at both of his latest two runs at this track and can't take lightly.

Race comment

Good run when 3.7m 2nd $4.80 (Fr5) Final River Newcastle 1609m (1:57.6) R4048 race Mar 14 then won $1.80 (Fr2) narrowly defeating Moneymatters 0.7m Tamworth 1609m (2:03.1) R4653 race Mar 19. Racing in great heart and is one from one at this track and distance; drawn the pole.

Race comment

Was a handy winner $3.30 (Fr2) defeating Jong Ang 2.2m Inverell 2000m (2:05.9) R3349 race Mar 29 then beaten 43m 9th $26 (Sr3) Watching You Dream Tamworth 1980m (2:01.1) R4254 race Apr 13. Mixing form and need to treat warily.

Race comment

Finished 76m 8th $17 (Fr4) Point Oh Five Inverell 2000m (2:05.2) R5155 race Mar 29 then beaten 18m 7th $81 (Fr2) Repartee NZ Tamworth 1980m (2:00.5) R4965 race Apr 13. Chance on solid win four back.

Race comment

Tired over the latter stages when distanced 10th $13 (Fr3) Repartee NZ Newcastle 2030m (2:01.1) R5055 race Feb 7 then beaten 11.5m 4th $101 (Fr5) Repartee NZ Tamworth 1980m (2:00.5) R4965 race Apr 13. Could fill a spot following a useful fresh run.

Race comment

Finished 29.5m 10th $2.90 (Sr2) Mylightingfella Newcastle 1609m (1:55.6) R4753 race Apr 6 then scored handily over Milwaukee Volo 3.7m $2.30 (Fr5) Tamworth 1980m (2:01.4) R4155 race Apr 13. Winner at his only previous run at this track and distance but drawn awkwardly and each way preferred.

Race comment

Finished 6m 3rd $31 (Sr1) Marika Springfield Newcastle 1609m (1:56.3) R4553 race Apr 6 then beaten 18.5m 8th $16 (Sr1) Mickey Ramone Tamworth 1980m (2:00.0) R5055 race Apr 13. Unlikely starter.
