Tamworth Race 4 - Brock Sampson Golf Pace
RIP JACKSON (2) has been racing well at this venue. Came from the back row and finished third last start after scoring from this barrier at the previous appearance here. Should enjoy a nice run. Has winning claims. MY ROCK MOVES (6) was a beaten favourite last start but had to race three wide without cover. Good effort for a resuming third two back at Menangle so is worth another chance. ROLAMAX (4) returns to the front line after a good effort as runner-up at this venue last time out. MEGS MONARO (7) showed pleasing improvement last time out when third at this circuit. Respect.

Last start was well beaten into third behind Longnwindingroad at this track over 1980m in a NR up to 47 on March 27 at $3.50. Raced better the start before that where he came from midfield and won by 3.5 m (Fr2) at this track (1:56.50) beating Magic Shoos in NR 43 to 47 on March 20 at $6 at the bell was 4th-5.4m 2WWC. Major player.

Backing up quickly since being well beaten this track over 1609m, 7 days ago before that 6th (Fr2) over 1980m at this track, beaten 25 m by Rocket Boy (2:25.80) in NR up to 55 on March 20 at $26. Not keen on his chances in this field.

Well-beaten 49 days ago at this track over 1980m, and two back 7th (Fr3) over 1609m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track, beaten 30 m by Allsopp (1:56.70) in NR 48 to 49 on February 6 at $15. Hard to have on those efforts.
