Tamworth Race 3 - Grandmas Girls - Clare Mackney Pacing For Pink Pace
REIGN MAKER (7) came from this row and finished fourth last start at Newcastle, beaten only 2.5 metres. Scored a win here prior, the only time he has attempted this circuit and distance. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run and with even luck could go close. DOUBLE SAID (8) had to race three wide without cover but stuck on for fourth last start, beaten 3 metres at Newcastle. Major player if things go his way from the second line. YELLA (3) is a newcomer to the Ison yard from Victoria where he hasn't been far away of late. Draws to make an immediate impact. SPOOKY ART (9) is another that may require luck from a second line draw but he looks close to a win after three successive placings, the last two at this circuit and distance.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Sr4) over 1980m after racing wide at this track, beaten 30 m by Coral Cays (2:26.40) in NR up to 45 on April 30 at $8. Showed ability the race before when he won by 3 m (Sr1) at this track (1:57.20) beating Lookat Mee in NR up to 34 on April 16 at $7 at the bell was leading 4.12. Solid top-three prospects.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third after being driven well back, after a quick start, behind Sparkling Sue at this track over 1609m in a NR 40 to 43 on April 16 at $7.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind Esperanza at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 47 on April 30 at $11. Racing well and is a player again.
