Tamworth Race 7 - Joan Bullock Memorial
QUICKSHIFT GIRL (5) was successful at her most recent outing by 2.25 metres in a far better performance at Newcastle over 1609m. Must raise the bar but she has the ability to make it two on the trot. GIRLSGOTCURLS (8) produced a better effort last time out, finishing second over 1609m at Newcastle. May need luck at some stage extracting from the inside of the second row. This looks a sterner test than last time but she is capable of winning. KINTIRE RUSH (2) ended last prep with a second at this track over 1609m. Capable of a forward showing while fresh. CORAL CAYS (10) got the prize two runs back then her luck changed last time when she broke following interference and finished 20 metres back in seventh over 1980m at this track. Will need an ounce of luck to slot in from this tricky draw. It doesn't get any easier but she is talented enough to be competitive.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Sr3) over 1980m at this track, beaten 20 m by Katastrophee (2:28.10) in NR up to 47 M on February 5 at $4. Showed ability the outing before when she came from midfield and posted a big 3 m win (Sr2) at this track (2:27.50) beating Esperanza in 0-1 WIN on January 29 at $8 at the bell was 2nd-2.68. Should be there at the business end.
