Tamworth Race 1 - Thank You To Our Carnival Workers Pace
CINNAMON (5) made a nice return after six months when she came from the back row for second last week. Should be improved by that and her lone career win came at this venue so can progress. ESPERANZA (6) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 3 metres from the winner in second at Newcastle. Draws wider but that added to a series of top-four finishes. Primary contender. WHAT AGAIN SHANNON (1) didn't do a bad job when fourth from this barrier at this venue last time out. CORAL CAYS (8) broke last start but still managed to fill a minor placing. With even luck and manners she can be competitive again.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fourth behind Two Ticks at Newcastle over 1609m in a 2 WINs M on January 15 at $21. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Penurious at Newcastle over 1609m in a NR 38 to 42 on January 19 at $9.50. Right in the calculations.
