Tamworth Race 2 - Mercure Hotel - Scully Park Tamworth Pace
ZACHAROONI (9) produced a better effort last start when third over 1980m at this track, beaten 4 metres. Hard to know where he gets from this slightly awkward draw. Big chance in a similar race. LACHIES IDEAL (1) finished sixth last start over 1609m at Newcastle, beaten 4 metres, after a good win at this track the run prior. Has the benefit of a good draw. Leading hope if anywhere near his best. OTIS RISING (6) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1980m at this track a week ago. JIMMY STEEL NZ (2) will be cherry-ripe after three runs back from a spell, the latest effort a third at this track a week ago.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr4) over 1609m after showing early speed at Newcastle was leading by 1.67 at the bell, beaten 4 m by Helens Boy (1:55.40) on July 27 at $2.15. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 1.75 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr1) at this track (1:57.60) beating Jacks Fyre in on July 23 at $3.30 at the bell was leading 2.6. Rates highly and looks a top chance.

Didn't do much last time out, surrendered the lead and finished 6th (Fr4) over 1980m after showing early speed at this track, at the bell was 3rd-3.97 beaten 8 m by Lookat Mee (2:29.70) on July 30 at $11. Before that 9th (Fr2) over 1980m at this track beaten 25 m by Bettathanmozarella (2:27.20) on July 23 at $19. This looks far too tough.

Two runs back tired badly to finish 8th (Fr7) over 2030m after showing early speed at Newcastle, well beaten by Agiftfromtheangels (2:28.70) on June 19 at $26. Others make more appeal.
