Tamworth Race 5 - Garrards Horse And Hound Pace
RIPPIN GOOD FEELIN (7) has been racing well at this circuit and distance, digging deep to score two back before going under by just a head last time. Draws for a trail and if things go his way he is a winning chance. COUNTRY MAJOR (1) resumes from a spell of four months after closing off last campaign in good form, leading from this barrier to win at his last appearance at this circuit and distance. Readied with a trial win so may prove hard to beat on his return. REIGN MAKER (10) didn't do a bad job when fifth at Newcastle last time out and came from a similar barrier to this to win prior, his third success in five tries at this circuit and distance. GOTONEBETTOR (8) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at Newcastle.

First up. At the last run he won by a head as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr1) at this track (2:00.60) beating Spooky Art in on May 28 at $2. The inside draw can see him make a strong return.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Rippin Good Feelin at this track over 1609m on August 27 at $61. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second behind Zacharooni at this track over 1609m on September 10 at $5.50. Can improve. Can make her presence felt.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr2) over 1609m at Newcastle was 4th-6.92 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Louigi (1:56.20) on September 14 at $3.70. Showed ability the run before when he won by a head (Sr2) at this track (1:58.40) beating Rippin Good Feelin in on September 10 at $7 at the bell was 2nd-1.36. Can perform well with even luck.
