Tamworth Race 4 - Kootingal Hotel - Sarah Rushbrook Pacing For Pink Pace
DOUBLE LINES (1) looks close to another win after a big effort at this circuit and distance last week, leading from this barrier and fighting on well to be edged out narrowly. Stays in the same grade and is a big chance to go one better. TASMANS DELIGHT (3) has the hoof on the till after three successive placings. Led and boxed on for third here last week. Should be prominent again from another good draw. Primary contender. BRING YOUR BEST (7) is going well with minor placings in his last two starts at this circuit and distance, one of them from this barrier. YOU CANNOT HIDE (2) will be fitter and must be considered after he came from a wider barrier and finished third when resuming at this circuit and distance a week ago.

Good performance when beaten by 4 m finishing fourth after being driven well back, behind Bodyline at Newcastle over 1609m in a NR 40 to 46 on April 20 at $12. Then a handy effort when a close second after a quick start, behind Eiffel From Heaven at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 47 on April 30 at $4.40. One of the main contenders.

Having his second run back from a spell. Game effort when 3rd (Fr5) over 1609m after racing wide at this track, beaten 21 m by Peppi Gratz (1:57.10) in NR up to 47 on April 30 at $14. Draws well and should improve so expected to run well again.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Sparkling Sue at this track over 1609m in a NR 40 to 43 on April 16 at $7. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Coral Cays at this track over 1980m in a NR up to 45 on April 30 at $2.40. Racing well and could break through from a good draw.

Last start 7th (Sr1) over 1710m at Goulburn was 6th-9.4 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Always Be Brendan (2:02.90) in NR up to 47 on March 30 at $51. Two runs back posted a big 4.5 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr3) at Canberra (2:11.70) beating One Stunin Melody in 3yo+ MAIDEN on March 15 at $1.70 at the bell was leading 3.8. Unlikely to threaten.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 10th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 19 m by Fox Trot (1:56.80) in 4yo+ NR up to 60 on April 30 at $34. At his previous start good run when 3rd (Sr2) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 2nd-3.2 beaten 13 m by Antetokounmpo (1:55.80) in NR 44 to 47 on April 16 at $6. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Among the players.
