Tamworth Race 2 - Brock Sampson Golf Tamworth Pace
AGENT CALLAN (3) put the writing on the wall with a strong second at this venue last week, coming from the back row to finish just a nose from the winner. Has the benefit of a good draw so can go one better. SPARKLING SUE (1) has been coming from wider or second row draws of late but has managed some decent efforts, highlighted by a second here last month. She is well served by the ace draw. UNIT FORTY ONE (2) didn't do a bad job when fourth here last time out and draws for another good showing. CAROLSDIAMOND (4) resumes after ten weeks but was readied with a trial placing and has won when fresh before.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr5) over 1980m at this track was 7th-10.24 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Tasmans Delight (2:27.00) in NR up to 45 on February 19 at $41. The run previous 9th (Fr8) over 1609m after being wide early at Newcastle, beaten 40 m by Rocknroll Tony (1:55.40) in NR up to 36 on February 9 at $7.50. Can improve sharply aided by the ace draw.

Didn't do much at the last run, 8th (Sr3) over 1720m at Dubbo beaten 55 m by Tigernator (2:06.60) in NR up to 36 on February 20 at $51. Before that 10th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 30 m by Montana Nights (1:57.90) in NR up to 40 on February 5 at $101. Unlikely to threaten.
