Tamworth Race 1 - Tamworth Cup Day 24Th April Mdn Plate
VARIUS (10) improved last start, beaten only 1.1 lengths over 1500m at Port Macquarie, after being prominent at the turn. Should be hitting this at peak fitness and has strong prospects. PEAR BELLINI (6) is backing up just six days after she was strongly fancied over 1505m at Tuncurry on a heavy track, but found one much too good. Has a 4kg claim today and can make amends on a less onerous surface. TAKETHEMONEYANDRUN (4) has been around the mark without winning. Better suited today and coming back to 1600m. Maps well and won't be far away. VEGA SICILIA (5) ran an improved race at Port Macquarie and can't be ruled out back 215m. Has an inside barrier and 2kg claim and has plenty of scope for improvement.

Most recently ran last in a small field at Gosford Mdn-Sw on April 2 over 1600m, 15 len behind Lupa Capitolina with 56kg at $151. The race before that second last of 10 at Scone Mdn-Sw on March 20 over 1200m, slow going 13 len behind Oakfield Alaska carrying 59kg at $151. Likely to find this out of reach.
