Tamworth Race 7 - Tom Ison - Tamworth Radio Cabs Pacing For Pink Pace
HES MY REASON (2) hasn't been far off the placegetters at his last two outings, coming from the back row for fourth at his latest appearance. Should enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position so is a winning hope. LAURIE DEE (8) draws on the back row but also came from there when filling a minor placing the last time he raced at this venue two back. Should be reaching peak fitness fourth up. HE SAID SHE SAID (3) draws well and again and is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at this venue. AWHOLELOTOFPRETTY (1) gets the inside draw so expecting a better result.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after showing early speed, behind The Tax Cullector at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 55 on April 16 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.4 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Keilor Baby Shark at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 55 on April 30 at $9. Draws well so can play a major role.
