Tamworth Race 3 - Macs Event Hire Appreciation Pace
BRAVE BONDI (1) has been racing well with a string of top-four finishes and was very good when he finished runner-up in a higher-graded race here last start, beaten just a nose. Looks beautifully placed dropping in grade and should get his chance from the ace draw. TASMANS DELIGHT (5) led and scored at this venue two starts ago before another good showing for third at her latest appearance at this circuit and distance. Draws wider but she is going well. MONTANA NIGHTS (8) may need some luck from this barrier but is a player off a last-start win by 2.8 metres at Dubbo. KATASTROPHEE (6) drops in grade off the last attempt and did manage a placing here three back.

Good run when beaten by 5 m finishing fourth behind Im Lord Tommy at this track over 1980m in a NR up to 60 on January 16 at $2.30. Then a handy effort when a close second after a quick start, behind Adrenaline Rush at this track over 1980m in a NR up to 60 on January 23 at $3.60. Close to a win and gets his chance from the inside draw.

Didn't do much at the last run, 9th (Sr3) over 1980m at this track, beaten 35 m by Pure Dragon (2:27.50) in NR up to 55 on January 23 at $101. Before that was well back in the run when 9th (Fr5) over 1980m after racing wide at this track was 9th-12.13 at the bell, beaten 18 m by Im Lord Tommy (2:28.60) in NR up to 60 on January 16 at $41. This looks far too tough.

Last start was well beaten into third behind The Tiger Army at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 55 on January 16 at $41. Raced better the start before that where she won by 2 m when quickly away, (Fr3) at this track (2:28.80) beating Otis Rising in NR up to 45 on January 13 at $4.60 at the bell was leading 1.46. Likely to play a role.

Capable of more than he has shown recently. Could sneak into the exotics.
