Tamworth Race 9 - Bell Partners - Financial Services Pace
CARRAMAR OLAM (8) has changed yards since a brave effort last start when he came from a similar barrier to this and raced wide in the latter stages but dug deep to get home by a narrow margin at Geelong. Can measure up. FAST TRACKER (3) has been taking on higher graded races of late and has produced some decent efforts including a head defeat the last time he raced here. Draws to make an impact. ESCALERA (5) is another coming back in grade and there has been merit in his effort to finish midfield at his last couple. RACING PAULA (7) draws for a trail and has claims off a second here three back.
