Tamworth Race 3 - Ask Listen Encourage Check-In Pace
RIPPIN GOOD FEELIN (2) came from this same barrier and fought well to score by a nose in a strong performance at this circuit and distance last time out. Finds another winnable assignment. Leading hope. REIGN MAKER (8) was solid when fifth last start at Newcastle and placed from this row the last time he raced here last month. Strikes at 50 per cent at this circuit and distance. Strong claims. NASHVILLE BART (9) has had six weeks off since he missed the placings as favourite last start but has been kept up to the mark with a trial win. SPARKLING SUE (1) is another back from a let-up but draws to advantage.

Last start tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr2) at this track (1:57.50) beating Katastrophee in on August 27 at $1.60 at the bell was 2nd-2.74. Draws well and looks hard to beat again.

Last start was well back in the run when 4th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 30 m by Brave Bondi (1:56.40) on August 27 at $34. Two runs back raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by a nose when quickly away, (Fr1) at this track (2:26.70) beating Ellie Rippin in on August 20 at $4.33 at the bell was 2nd-5.4. Draws well so can play a role.
