Tamworth Race 3 - Lounges Plus - Up To Half Price Lounge Sale Pace

SOFT LANDING (5) was down the track when well in the betting last week but scored an easy win in this grade prior, leading from a similar draw to score by 9m at this circuit and distance. He can bounce back. SHESTERKIN (6) has not raced for 11 months when he finished midfield at Menangle but he looks forward enough for the return after minor placings in two recent trials here. Lightly-raced but capable colt so expecting a bright start to the campaign. SUPERIOR ART (2) draws well and comes right into contention after scoring from a wider barrier last start by 6.5 metres at this circuit and distance. MAXI ANGEL (7) was solid from this barrier last time out.

Last start was well beaten into seventh behind Barrys Brother at this track over 1609m on September 24 at $4.80. Raced better the start before that where he posted a big 8 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr4) at this track (1:58.00) beating Slick And Suave in on September 10 at $1.65 at the bell was leading 6. Big chance to return to the winners' list.
