Tamworth Race 1 - Multiquip Three Year Old Pace
SPELL CHECK (1) resumes from a spell of four-and-a-half months having placed at this circuit and distance in her only start to date. Likely to have developed further with maturity. Readied with two trials, winning the latest and should get every chance from the ace draw. ULTIMATE DILEMMA (2) draws well and is looming as a real threat after good efforts from the back row in her last two outings at Newcastle, placing last time out. MERRYWOOD LOU (4) led as favourite but faded to fifth in stronger company last start. Better off dropping to maiden grade so is capable of playing a major role. WICKED STRIKE (3) was solid when midfield from the back row last start and had placed from a similar draw to this when on debut prior.
