Tamworth Race 5 - Lounges Plus Hrnsw Guaranteed Ladyship Pace
SAINT KARAMARA (5) has been racing well of late. Did a good job to come from one spot wider and finish third at her latest appearance at Newcastle, beaten a head. This looks a winnable assignment. EIFFEL FROM HEAVEN (8) put the writing on the wall when runner-up two starts ago then improved further last start when she scored by a nose to add to a good record at this circuit and distance. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run and if she gets the gaps she could make it two on the trot. KATASTROPHEE (7) had to work last start but had put together a string of wins or placings prior. SPARKLING SUE (6) draws wide but is going well, recording back-to-back wins before a second from the back row last week. TONYS DREAM (10) draws on the back row but has been trialling well so can make an immediate impact for a new yard.
