Tamworth Race 9 - Afternoons With Dan Saunders - Tmfm95.5 Pace
ALLSOPP (3) finished runner-up at his most recent outing, beaten a neck, in a far better performance at this track over 1980m. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Tackles a similar assignment and he can go one better without surprising. PARIS PRINCESS (1) scored two starts back here then didn't draw the best last time and finished 35 metres back in seventh over 1609m at the same circuit. Steps up a level but she is capable of running a big race. SUPERBON (2) last appeared when third over 1980m at this venue five months ago. Keep an eye out for positive market movement. HE SAID SHE SAID (4) must be respected after scoring last start by 1.75 metres at this course over 1980m. Can go back-to-back.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Sr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 35 m by Ashleys Blue Chip (1:55.40) in NR up to 65 on October 2 at $41. Showed ability the race before when she won by a nose (Sr3) at this track (1:58.10) beating Amillion Promises in NR up to 53 on September 18 at $5 at the bell was 4th-4.6. Drawn ideally this time so it may pay to forgive the last run.

Resuming after five months off the scene. Finished off last campaign when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Ashleys Blue Chip at this track over 1980m in a NR up to 70 on May 8 at $7.50. Best form should see him go well.

Two back was seventh behind Always Be Chaps at Newcastle over 1609m in a NR up to 63 on August 22 at $3.20. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Princess Remi at this track over 1980m in a NR 54 to 57 on August 28 at $2.20. Nicely drawn and expected to run a bold race again.

Rates highly on best form and can bounce back.

Didn't do much last start, 7th (Fr8) over 1609m at Newcastle, beaten 17 m by Wamboyneinamerica (1:53.10) in NR up to 70 on October 3 at $51. Before that was well back in the run when 6th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 7th-13 beaten 9 m by Fast Tracker (1:57.00) in NR up to 63 on September 18 at $26. This looks far too tough.
