Tamworth Race 1 - Sky Racing Active Pace
CINNAMON (9) has not raced for 11 weeks. Looks forward enough for this return after a minor placing in a recent trial. Hard to know where she gets from this slightly awkward draw. Expecting a bright start to the campaign with fitness possibly playing its part. ELLIE RIPPIN (7) ran fifth last start at this track over 1980m, beaten 11 metres. Expecting a very good run. MY ULTIMATE HUGO (8) is on the radar after his last-start fifth over 1609m at this track a week ago after working hard in the run. BETTATHANMOZARELLA (10) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound third at this track over 1980m.

Second up after running was well back in the run when 10th (Fr5) over 1980m at this track beaten 22 m by Reasonably Sweet (2:29.70) in 0-1 WIN on July 3 at $51. May need more racing.

Two back was well beaten into eighth after a quick start, behind Oak Ridge at this track over 1980m in a NR up to 48 on June 26 at $9. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Reasonably Sweet at this track over 1980m in a 0-1 WIN on July 3 at $26. One for the exotics.
