Tamworth Race 4 - Vale Vince Brennan
TASMANS DELIGHT (5) has been racing well, filling a placing at her last four starts including a 2.5m third most recently at this venue. Deserves a win and it things go her way she could break through. UNIT FORTY ONE (1) was solid enough from this barrier last start at Newcastle, beaten 7.5 metres. Won from the back row here last month. Should enjoy the favours from the ace draw so could return to the winners' list. LOOKAT MEE (8) recorded a respectable third at her most recent appearance at this venue. Tougher draw but came from this row when runner-up here three back. SPARKLING SUE (10) recorded a series of top-two finishes prior to the last attempt so may be worth another chance.

Last start posted a big 6 m win (Sr3) at this track (2:00.60) beating Double Mach in NR up to 37 on May 7 at $13 at the bell was 3rd-0.93. The low draw gives him a chance of back-to-back wins.

Two back was 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. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind The Irish Eagle at this track over 1609m in a NR 41 to 47 on May 7 at $11. Could break through.
