Tamworth Race 7 - The Pub - Drive Of The Day Pace

RACING PAULA (5) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 6 metres from the winner in fourth in a higher-graded race at this circuit and distance. Placed twice in a row in similar company to this prior. Big chance. MISTER CHEESE (8) had a tough draw last start so that result can be overlooked. Won twice in a row over this distance prior, one of them at this venue. Draws on the back row but with even luck he is good enough to put himself back in the winners' stall. CARRAMAR OLAM (4) is another coming back in grade and owns decent statistics at both the venue and the distance. The ace draw can spark improvement from IMXTRASPECIAL (1).

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 7th (Fr5) over 1609m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track was 4th-5.3 at the bell, beaten 14 m by Three Rivers (1:55.50) in 4yo+ NR up to 70 on February 19 at $4.40. The run before 5th (Sr2) over 1980m at this track, at the bell was 6th-7.17 beaten 5.5 m by Ashleys Blue Chip (2:29.00) in NR 61 to 70 on February 5 at $5. Better than recent form suggests.
