Tamworth Race 3 - Wests Entertainment Group Pace
MAKE MINE BETTOR (1) produced a strong performance last start when he raced parked but battled on bravely for a 1.4m second at this venue. Has the benefit of the ace draw and that should give him every chance to go one better. COUNTRY MAJOR (8) has been close-up in two outings since recording back-to-back placings here. Good effort in a higher-graded race at his latest appearance, beaten 5 metres. With even luck from the back row he could take care of this line-up. EIFFEL FROM HEAVEN (5) produced a better effort last time out when a 1.3m third and has won twice over this shorter distance at this venue. OTIS RISING (9) may need some luck from the back row but looks close to a win after back-to-back placings.

Improved last start with a solid effort when 3rd (Fr4) over 1980m at this track, at the bell was 2nd-0.27 beaten 1.4 m by Spooky Art (2:28.90) in NR up to 45 on February 19 at $5.50. Gets the ace draw and may prove hard to beat from there.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Ripstone Snorter at Newcastle over 2030m in a NR up to 48 on February 6 at $81. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.3 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Reds Good To Go at this track over 1980m in a NR up to 45 on February 19 at $8. Leading player.

Good run when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind The County Sheriff at Newcastle over 1609m in a NR 43 to 45 on February 9 at $3.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Tasmans Delight at this track over 1980m in a NR up to 45 on February 19 at $6. Another big run would not surprise.
