Tamworth Race 5 - Portable Horse Stables Appreciation Pace
AVENGER NZ (4) is a newcomer to the Darren Elder yard from Victoria. Last appeared at Charlton three months ago but was readied with a trial win. That should have him ready to fire first up. NIGHT TO REMEMBER (5) had a tough barrier in a stronger race last start so that result can be forgiven. Returns to the front row and was good when placed at this circuit and distance two back so worth another chance. SUPERBON (6) turned in a strong performance last time when he drew on the back row and battled on bravely to miss out by just over a metre as runner-up at this circuit and distance. Finds a nice race and could return to the winners' enclosure. ANNIE CROCKER (9) disappointed last time but was going well here prior with a second from a similar barrier to this along with a win from her previous two outings.

Resuming after 12 weeks off the scene. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Studleigh Melise at Dubbo over 2120m in a NR up to 55 on November 7 at $71. Gets the ace draw and looks set for a bright return.

Last start 8th (Fr2) over 1980m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 25 m by Pure Dragon (2:27.50) in NR up to 55 on January 23 at $13. Two runs back 6th (Sr1) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 5th-8.8m on the pegs beaten 9 m by Tinny Mahoney (1:56.00) in NR up to 53 on October 16 at $8. Will come on from that run and from a low draw is a top-three hope.

Resuming after a spell of three months. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into eighth after showing early speed, behind Ruby Wingate at Charlton over 1609m in a NR 53 to 59 on November 3 at $8.50. With a new yard and readied with a trial win so can make an immediate impact.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track was 7th-12 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Annie Crocker (1:58.00) in NR up to 50 on January 13 at $19. Showed ability the run before when she raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by 2.5 m as favourite (Sr1) at this track (2:28.90) beating Bull Shark in NR up to 45 on January 8 at $2.50 at the bell was 3rd-6. Might need easier.
