Tamworth Race 8 - Club Menangle Waratah Heat
FOUR FEATHERS (5) has been knocking on the door for a while, coming from the back row to place in his last two outings at Newcastle. Back on the front line here so could break through. JACKS FYRE (4) has had seven weeks off since he finished second at this circuit and distance last start but has been kept up to the mark with a trial win. Major player. MAYWYNS MIGHTY MAC (1) has had a series of wide draws but still managed a Newcastle win last month. Came from this barrier for a close second the last time he raced here. THE IRISH EAGLE (9) cannot be ruled out after a second from this row last start.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr7) over 1609m at Newcastle, beaten 9 m by Karaoke King (1:53.00) in 4yo+ on September 18 at $34. The run prior was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr7) over 2030m at Newcastle, beaten 6 m by Perfectdelight (2:26.80) on September 11 at $101. Should get his chance from the inside draw.

Resuming after a spell of three months. Finished off last preparation when beaten by 1.3 m finishing second behind Bring Your Best at this track over 1980m on June 25 at $4.40. Decent effort last start. Keep safe while fresh.

Last start 5th (Fr6) over 1980m at this track, at the bell was 8th-8.56 beaten 17 m by Avenger (2:25.70) on September 10 at $34. Before that, a game effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 9th-18.09 beaten 9 m by Im Lord Tommy (1:55.60) on August 27 at $34. One of the chances.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after a quick start, behind Avenger at this track over 1609m on July 30 at $1.65. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Leave It To Lucy at this track over 1609m on August 6 at $2.20. Strong claims.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3.5 m third behind Ire Of The Dragon at Newcastle over 1609m last start. Before that was beaten 4 metres third again at Newcastle over 2030m same class on September 11. Looks close to a win.

Two back was well beaten into ninth after being driven well back, behind Penurious at Menangle over 1609m in a 4yo+ on September 5 at $7. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Dougs Rules at this track over 1609m on September 10 at $7.50. Could be there at the business end.
