Tamworth Race 5 - Johns Auto Service Tamworth Pace
LEAVE IT TO LUCY (5) is in the mix following a fifth at her most recent appearance over 2125m at Penrith. JACKS FYRE (3) ran fourth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 11 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Has the talent to take this out. DOUGS RULES (7) made it two minor placings on the trot last start when she led and battled on well but found one better at this track over 1980m. Gets a soft run on the inside of the second line but may need luck at some point. Primary contender based on those recent efforts. NIGHT TO REMEMBER (9) finished second two runs back then was brave in defeat to finish third despite breaking last start over 1980m at this track. Hard to know where she gets from this slightly awkward draw.

Last start 6th (Fr3) over 1690m at Shepparton, beaten 22 m by Our Sweet Jeannie (2:01.50) in 3yo on July 14 at $61. Two runs back 4th (Sr1) over 1690m at Shepparton was 4th-8.93 at the bell, beaten 14 m by Postit Lafite (2:01.10) on June 23 at $26. This looks a far sterner test.

Returns from the paddock. At the latest first-up run was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr6) over 1730m at Bathurst, beaten 30 m by Mister Bluechip (2:04.70) on June 5 2024 at $151. Has been in work for a little while but after a lengthy break may need the run.

Solid run when a close second after being driven well back, after showing early speed, behind Gotonebettor at this track over 1609m on July 23 at $4. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.4 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Ozzie Pearl at this track over 1980m on July 30 at $1.75. Leading contender.
