Tamworth Race 1 - Sky Racing Active Pace
TRY CATCHING ME (4) has the hoof on the till after seconds in her three starts at this venue since a spell. Produced another strong performance last time when she came from the back row to miss narrowly. Should be at her peak now so can break through. CINNAMON (7) only beat a couple home when well fancied over a longer trip at her latest appearance but had kicked off the campaign with a second at this circuit and distance prior. Race fit third-up and should enjoy a nice smother from this draw. Leading hope if she gets the gaps. BULL SHARK (2) didn't do a bad job when 6m away last time out and placed at Newcastle prior. Draws for a good showing. ESPERANZA (9) is worth some thought after coming from this barrier to be beaten only 4.6m here last week.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr6) over 1980m at this track, at the bell was 8th-9.04 beaten 6 m by Spooky Art (2:28.90) in NR up to 45 on February 19 at $41. Before that, a game effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr6) over 1609m at Newcastle was 6th-13.81 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Keayang Harlow (1:56.50) in 0-1 WIN on February 9 at $12. Well drawn and expected to play a role.

Comes here second-up after three weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when was well back in the run when 10th (Fr6) over 1609m after racing wide at this track, beaten 75 m by Wanted Poster (1:56.50) in 0-1 WIN on February 5 at $71. Hard to have in this line-up.

Two back was well beaten into second behind Wanted Poster at this track over 1609m in a 0-1 WIN on February 5 at $11. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Spooky Art at this track over 1980m in a NR up to 45 on February 19 at $6.50. Cherry-ripe now and gets her chance to break through.
