Tamworth Race 4 - Garrards Horse And Hound Pace
ROCKET BOY (1) has the hoof on the till after seconds in two of his last three starts at this circuit and distance, last week coming from wider to finish only 1.2m off the winner. The ace draw gives him the chance to break through. SPOOKY ART (2) worked forward to take control then found plenty to score narrowly over 1980m here a week ago. Can take advantage of the low draw to go right on with the job. TASMANS DELIGHT (7) added to a string of wins and placings at this venue when coming from this row for a last-start win by 4 metres. Must respect that consistency. LOCKITINEDDY (3) was beaten only 4.5m here last week and placed from this barrier at Penrith prior. Go well again.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Mister Cheese at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 55 on February 5 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.2 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind He Said She Said at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 50 on February 19 at $34. Should get his chance from this draw.

Last start won by a head as favourite when quickly away, (Fr3) at this track (2:28.90) beating Try Catching Me in NR up to 45 on February 19 at $2.40 at the bell was leading 0.27. Draws well and may prove hard to beat.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Sr3) over 1980m at this track, beaten 30 m by Kintire Rush (2:24.20) in NR up to 55 M on February 19 at $34. Showed ability the outing before when she won by a nose when driven back in the field, (Fr4) held up early, at this track (2:28.10) beating Fleur Bella in NR up to 47 M on February 5 at $14 at the bell was 7th-14.31. Could atone.
