Tamworth Race 1 - Johns Autos Local Female Driver 2025 - Caitlin Mcelhinney Pace
SLICK AND SUAVE (7) finished second last start over 1609m at Newcastle, beaten a nose. That was an improvement on the unplaced effort at Newcastle the run before. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw and will be looking for a split at some stage. Good enough to take out a race like this. TRY CATCHING ME (8) finished second last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 30 metres, after also filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 1609m at this track. Gets a soft run on the inside of the second line but may need luck at some point. Won't find this any harder and she can find winning ways. BULL SHARK (6) is the next best after finishing third over 1609m at Newcastle last time out. SPOOKY ART (3) disappointed last time when eighth over 1609m at this track. Can turn things around.

Didn't do much at the last run, 8th (Sr1) over 1609m at Newcastle, beaten 20 m by Keayang Harlow (1:56.50) in 0-1 WIN on February 9 at $26. Before that 6th (Sr3) over 1609m at this track beaten 45 m by Wanted Poster (1:56.50) in 0-1 WIN on February 5 at $71. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after a quick start, behind Wanted Poster at this track over 1609m in a 0-1 WIN on February 5 at $23. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Keayang Harlow at Newcastle over 1609m in a 0-1 WIN on February 9 at $12. Genuine top-three contender.
