Tamworth Race 2 - Hazells Tamworth - Danny Mackney Pacing For Pink Pace

VALORIX (5) wasn't disgraced at his latest appearance and produced a good effort to place at Newcastle prior, racing three wide in the middle stages before working to the front and sticking on. Has some upside and this looks a suitable assignment. TRY CATCHING ME (9) has been racing well with a string of top-four finishes since a win at this venue. May need an ounce of luck from the back row but looks close to another success after missing by just a head here last week. SLICK AND SUAVE (1) has been coming from wider or back row draws of late but managed a Newcastle second two back. Should get the favours from the ace draw. MERRYWOOD LOU (3) placed from a similar draw to this three back at Penrith so can be competitive.
