Tamworth Race 5 - Petermac On-Course Photography Pace
AVENGER NZ (8) eases back in grade on his last two outings at Newcastle and looks suited returning to this venue having scored a first-up win by nearly 10m over this distance here last month. If things go his way from the back row he can strike again. BETTATHANMOZARELLA (1) has had tougher barriers at his last couple but will relish the ace draw having led from there to score the last time he raced at this venue last month. Could do it again. BARLOR HEAVEN (10) could be close to a win after placing in three of his last four starts, one of them from this row. AMILLION PROMISES (3) draws well and is another with the hoof on the till after placing in his last two appearances.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 8th (Fr6) over 1609m after showing early speed and racing wide at Newcastle, at the bell was 2nd-3.11 beaten 7 m by Yesnomaybeso (1:53.90) in NR 55 to 57 on February 13 at $6. The run prior 5th (Fr3) over 2030m after showing early speed at Newcastle, at the bell was 3rd-6.11 beaten 11 m by Protagonist (2:26.20) in NR up to 58 on February 6 at $7.50. This looks a nice assignment so could return to winning form.
