Tamworth Race 9 - Hazells Farm & Fertilizer Services Pace
SUPERBON (2) settled close to the pace and closed well to finish third last start over 1609m here, the second minor placing in a row. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. ESCALERA (3) should be ready to peak now after finishing second over 2030m at Newcastle two weeks ago. Expect him to give this a real shake. NIGHT TO REMEMBER (5) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good win over 2030m at Newcastle two runs back. Can bounce back. COLBY (8) has claims off the last-start second.

Fair run when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Tallulah Lee at Newcastle over 1609m in a NR up to 63 on March 13 at $13. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing third behind Pure Dragon at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 60 on March 20 at $5.50. Big chance again.

Two back was ninth after a quick start, behind Chevron Art at Newcastle over 2030m in a NR up to 80 on March 7 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind First String at Newcastle over 2030m in a NR up to 68 on March 13 at $7. Looks very hard to beat.

Didn't do much last start, was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track was 10th-19.2m 2WWC at the bell, beaten 17 m by Pure Dragon (1:57.40) in NR up to 60 on March 20 at $51. Before that was driven from back in the field when 10th (Fr8) over 2030m at Newcastle, beaten 45 m by Applied (2:28.70) in NR up to 62 on March 7 at $81. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.

Failed to impress last start; 9th (Fr3) over 1980m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 65 m by Didshedoit (2:25.50) in NR 55 to 65 on March 6 at $3.40. Showed ability the race before when she raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by a head (Sr1) at Newcastle (2:26.60) beating Imperial Night in NR up to 57 on February 28 at $8 at the bell was 2nd-4. Capable of more than she has shown recently. Should improve sharply.

Two back was sixth behind Didshedoit at this track over 1980m in a NR 55 to 65 on March 6 at $41. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Pure Dragon at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 60 on March 20 at $11. Shapes as one to consider.
