Tamworth Race 5 - Farrer Security Pace
KARALTA COURAGE (7) made an encouraging return from a lengthy spell when runner-up at this circuit before a fourth at Menangle last Saturday. Goes well third-up so should be close to peak fitness now. BE GOOD BENNY (2) hasn't been far away at his last couple including a second at this venue. Should get his chance from the low draw. GROSESTAR (9) found winning form when returning to this circuit last time. Tougher draw but can go on with it. CLASSIC ARC (8) can be competitive if things go his way from the second line.

Two back was well beaten into ninth after being driven well back, behind Bettor Keep Rocking at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 47 on August 28 at $151. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Yogi at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 32 on September 4 at $5. Tested.
