Tamworth Race 7 - Vale Chris Garrard
BETTOR CHEER (5) was successful last start by 6 metres in a far better performance at this track over 1609m. Could be facing a similar tough run but is ideally placed and is sure to play a major role again. ALLSOPP (8) returned from a spell and did well to finish third last start, beaten 1.1 metres at this track over 1980m after settling outside the leader. Has the class to find the winners' list. HEZA PLAYER NZ (3) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1609m at Newcastle. Little has gone to plan for RIPPIN RUPERT (4) of late but he is capable of much better. Something for the Multiples: BETTOR CHEER NZ (5)
