Tamworth Race 2 - Fm99.5 Liverpool Plains Pace
REIGN MAKER (2) has been tackling stronger opposition than this of late and while down the track in his last two outings at Penrith he did a good job to come from wider for a 1.5m second at Menangle three back. In a new yard and looks well served by this barrier. IM NO GIFT (3) has not raced for four-and-a-half months but looks forward enough for the return after a minor placing in a recent trial. Likely to get the favours from this nice draw. COUNTRY MAJOR (10) deserves a win following a string of top-three finishes. Draws on the back row but came from there to place the last two times he raced at this venue. GALVARINO (4) was a beaten favourite last time but is a player if he shows the form that saw him kick off the campaign with a second at this venue last month.

Last start was well beaten into third after a quick start, behind Katastrophee at Narrabri over 1760m in a NR up to 45 on April 12 at $7.50. Performed better the start before with a game effort when 3rd (Fr4) over 1760m after being wide early at Narrabri beaten 3.5 m by Seven Rippin Aces (2:10.70) in NR 36 to 40 on April 5 at $2.60. With luck from the back row he can continue the good form.
