Tamworth Race 8 - Club Menangle - Waratah Heat
CHEDDAR VALLEY (4) has put together a series of handy efforts at Newcastle, last time leading and sticking on for third. Placed both times he has visited his circuit. Has winning claims. THE CID (11) was out of the money last time but had put together four successive placings prior, three of them at this circuit. Beaten only 3.2m from a similar barrier here two back. Big chance. MY ROCK MOVES (6) draws wider but must be respected having won two of her last three outings at this circuit and distance. Last-start winner TABRA (2) is in the mix again from another favourable draw. Something for the Multiples: CHEDDAR VALLEY NZ (4)

Good performance when beaten by 5 m finishing fourth after being driven well back, behind Some Chevron at Newcastle over 1609m in a NR up to 57 on August 29 at $81. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after a quick start, behind Rivera Lou at Newcastle over 1609m in a NR 54 to 59 on September 9 at $4. Continues to race well and has winning claims.

Failed to impress last start; was well back in the run when 5th (Fr7) over 1609m at Menangle was 7th-13.2 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Lexys On Song (1:54.60) in 4yo+ NR up to 52 on September 13 at $8. Showed ability the run before when he posted a big 9 m win when quickly away, (Fr2) at Newcastle (1:55.60) beating Louie Dada in 4yo+ NR up to 52 on September 5 at $4.80 at the bell was leading 5.57. Worth another chance.
