Tamworth Race 4 - Longyard Hotel Tamworth Pace
TRY CATCHING ME (8) was fourth from a similar barrier as favourite last time but the prior form was strong, putting together a string of top-two finishes at this venue including a win two back. Can bounce back with even luck. CINNAMON (9) could be close to a win after filling minor placings at her last two appearances, one of them from this row. Big chance if things go her way. LORD JAYDO (7) hasn't been far away at Newcastle of late, coming from this barrier to place two back. If he gets the gaps he could win this. GENERAL ROCKER (6) is a newcomer to the Darren Elder yard and could measure up.

Comes here second-up after three weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when 9th (Fr5) over 1980m after racing wide at this track beaten 80 m by Peppi Gratz (2:25.70) in 0-1 WIN on March 5 at $41. May need more racing.

Last start was well beaten into fourth behind Peppi Gratz at this track over 1980m in a 0-1 WIN on March 5 at $2.30. Raced better the start before that where she won by 3 m as favourite (Fr4) at this track (2:00.50) beating Bull Shark in 0-1 WIN on February 26 at $2.90 at the bell was leading 0.93. Has been racing well so deserves another chance.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Peppi Gratz at this track over 1980m in a 0-1 WIN on March 5 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Coral Cays at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 52 M on March 12 at $12. Tricky draw but looks close to a win.
