Tamworth Race 8 - Kudos Renos - Blake Hughes Pacing For Pink Pace
THE TAX CULLECTOR (7) led to win here three back and was good from this row at his latest appearance, finishing third and less than 3m off the winner. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run and if he gets the gaps he is a big chance. IM LORD TOMMY (10) made it two wins in succession at this venue when he led and got the cash by 2 metres last time out. May need an ounce of luck from this tricky draw but winning form is hard to knock. NIFTY STUDLEIGH (1) has been solid from wider or second row draws at Newcastle of late. Owns a decent record at this circuit and distance and should get his chance from the ace draw. CINNAMON (9) raced parked and faded last start but won two in a row prior, one of them from this row. Worth another chance.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 5th (Sr2) over 1609m at Newcastle beaten 7 m by Sinbinned (1:55.40) in NR up to 53 on May 15 at $11. The run before 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at Newcastle, at the bell was 6th-8.52 beaten 10 m by Ultimate Trouble (1:55.20) in NR up to 47 on May 8 at $6.50. Worth another chance. Should get his chance from the ace draw.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after a quick start, behind Far Out Ringo at this track over 1980m in a NR up to 58 on May 7 at $12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Sinbinned at Newcastle over 1609m in a NR up to 53 on May 15 at $6.50. Draws for a good showing.

Four-year-old entire is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by 2 m after showing early speed, (Fr1) at this track (1:57.50) beating Racing Paula in NR up to 55 on May 7 at $3.70 at the bell was 2nd-0.55. Tougher draw but going well.
