Tamworth Race 9 - Mark Lowe - 2025 Margie Ford Volunteer Award Pace
HEZA DOOZIE (10) didn't have a lot go his way from this row as favourite last week but scored back-to-back wins at this circuit and distance back in March. He is up to winning a race like this with even luck from the back line. ILLAWONG DANNY (4) was out of the money but not disgraced last start and had placed in his previous two outings, one of them at this circuit and distance. Should get his chance from this barrier. DIDSHEDOIT NZ (9) last appeared when she came from this row and won by 2.3 metres here 11 weeks ago. Should be ready to go off a trial win. ALLSOPP (2) did a better job from a wider barrier last start. Should get his chance from the good draw. LAST TIME JOE (6) has been racing consistently and can be competitive again after he was beaten only 1.5m as runner-up here last week.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after being driven well back, behind Ashleys Blue Chip at this track over 1980m in a NR up to 70 on April 16 at $8. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Major Mickey at this track over 1980m in a NR up to 70 on April 30 at $7. One of the contenders.

Showed ability the race before when she raced just off the speed and boxed on; posted a big 6 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr1) at this track (2:23.40) beating Grosso Naso in NR up to 70 on April 16 at $2.15 at the bell was 3rd-4.69. Chance to bounce back.
