Tamworth Race 2 - Longyard Hotel Pace
ANNIE CROCKER (3) added to her recent string of strong performances last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.75 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Facing a tougher assignment but she is capable of running another big race. SWEET ROCKY (9) finished fifth two runs ago then suffered interference and broke when a distant seventh over 2125m at Penrith at the latest appearance. Not drawn to best so may need a 10/10 drive. Won't find this any harder so he can return to form if he brings his Mitch Manners. PHAR LUME (4) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m here last time out. Top-three candidate. DOUBLE MACH (6) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this venue on March 20.
