Tamworth Race 8 - Johns Auto Service Pace
ASHLEYS BLUE CHIP (8) settled in the leading division then took over the lead and pulled right away to take out a 1609m race at this track last start following on from a second two starts back at Newcastle. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run but might need things to go her way at some stage. Steps up a level but she is capable of running another big race. MY ROCK MOVES (1) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 4.5 metres from the winner in fifth over 1980m here. Has the benefit of a good draw. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. RACING PAULA (2) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this circuit. Should run a big race. FAR OUT BRO (3) resumes and looks ready to put his best foot forward on the back of three trials.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4.5 m fifth behind Ultimate Empire at this track over 1980m NR up to 55 last start. Before that was beaten 3.5 metres fourth at Newcastle over 1609m in 4yo+ NR up to 58 on September 26. Draws the pegs and can bounce back.

Fair performance when beaten by 4.5 m finishing fourth behind Fast Tracker at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 63 on September 18 at $10. Then a handy effort when second after a quick start, behind Ashleys Blue Chip at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 65 on October 2 at $23. Very hard to beat.

Resuming after a spell of ten months. Ran only once last preparation running when beaten by 2.5 m finishing third behind Abdicate at Maitland over 1646m in a NR 64 to 90 on December 1 at $10. One of the better chances while fresh.

Well beaten last start by Ashleys Blue Chip, a rival who he faces again; when 35 metres eighth at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 65 race on October 2. Needs to lift.
