Tamworth Race 3 - Garrards Horse And Hound Pace
MY ULTIMATE COSSIE (7) started favourite when returning to NSW last start but was held up and finished midfield at Newcastle. Had been racing well with a string of wins and placings in Queensland prior. Gets a soft run on the inside of the second line and if gaps come he can make amends. ULTIMATE EMPIRE (1) returns to a circuit where he owns a good record and should get every chance from the inside draw. Big chance. TIGERMAC (8) is really delivering now with two wins and a nose second in his last three starts here. Overcame a draw on this row when he scored by 7.7 metres last time. Go well. TINNY MAHONEY (4) will be near peak fitness fourth up and could be ready to win after back-to-back placings here.

The run prior 6th (Fr5) over 1609m at Newcastle, beaten 24 m by Mydnight (1:55.90) in NR up to 47 on August 29 at $19. Can go close from this draw.

Didn't do much at the last run, 8th (Sr4) over 1609m at this track was 8th-15.4 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Yogi (1:59.00) in NR up to 32 on September 4 at $41. Before that 10th (Sr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 30 m by Bring Your Best (1:58.70) in NR 33 to 40 on August 7 at $151. Unlikely to threaten.

Solid run when beaten by 1.4 m finishing second behind Lets N Joy at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 47 on August 28 at $18. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Vintage Edition at this track over 1980m in a NR up to 55 on September 4 at $19. Can be about the money again.

Finished up last campaign with a win at this track, but hasn't been as effective this campaign with a first-up effort 9th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 22 m by Lets N Joy (2:00.30) in NR up to 47 on August 28 at $15. Then last time was well back in the run when 10th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 25 m by Dougs Rules (1:58.30) in NR up to 50 M on September 4 at $81. Hard to have on those efforts.

Last start surrendered the lead and finished 6th (Fr1) over 2030m after showing early speed at Newcastle, beaten 9 m by War Western (2:28.60) in NR up to 48 on September 12 at $2. Before that, a solid effort when 2nd (Fr2) over 1660m at Albion Park, beaten a head by My Ultimate Mario (1:58.20) in NR 43 to 48 on September 2 at $11. Great chance to bounce back.
