Tamworth Race 8 - Tab Venue Mode Pace

THREE RIVERS NZ (3) has been racing very well and deserved his victory last time out, taking advantage of the inside barrier to lead and score by 4.2 metres at this venue. Draws well enough to push forward again so could go back to back. ASHLEYS BLUE CHIP (9) will enjoy the return to this venue having won the last time she raced here three back. Has a tougher draw than she did on that occasion but her record at this circuit and distance is encouraging. HEZA DOOZIE (1) has had a series of wider or second line draws so is better served by the inside barrier and is proven at this circuit and distance. ARNIES ARMY NZ (6) could be close to a win after coming from the back row to place in his last two outings here.

Good performance when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Heza Player at this track over 1980m in a NR 48 to 60 on February 5 at $2.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Three Rivers at this track over 1609m in a 4yo+ NR up to 70 on February 19 at $51. Can play a role in the finish again.

Eight-year-old mare showed improvement last start. Was driven from back in the field when 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 8th-16.78 beaten 16 m by Didshedoit (1:55.00) in NR up to 65 on February 19 at $71. The run before was not as impressive when well beaten into fifth after a quick start, behind Heza Player at this track over 1980m in a NR 48 to 60 on February 5 at $21. This looks a sterner task.
