Tamworth Race 4 - Tamworth Treated Timbers - Horse Bedding Pace
ROCKNROLL ROCKET (3) is a newcomer to the Roy Roots Sr yard from Victoria where he tackled stronger company when last seen. Has had five weeks off but was readied with a trial win and draws well. OTIS RISING (9) is in good form and made it three placings on the trot when he came from this barrier for second at this circuit and distance last week. If things go his way he could break through. SAINT KARAMARA (2) hasn't done a bad job from wider barriers of late and looks better served by this draw. GOTONEBETTOR (5) was solid from the back row last start and can progress further third-up.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 6th (Fr5) over 1609m at Newcastle beaten 20 m by Hes My Reason (1:53.90) in NR 45 to 49 on February 23 at $8.50. The start before was well back in the run when 6th (Fr5) over 1609m at Newcastle, beaten 22 m by Constantina (1:51.70) in NR up to 53 on February 20 at $81. Can do better aided by a low draw.

Last start 7th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 25 m by Brave Bondi (1:57.10) in NR 44 to 48 on February 26 at $15. Two runs back won by a head as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr3) at this track (2:28.90) beating Try Catching Me in NR up to 45 on February 19 at $2.40 at the bell was leading 0.27. Might find this a bit tough.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Tasmans Delight at this track over 1980m in a NR up to 45 on February 19 at $6. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Eiffel From Heaven at this track over 1609m in a NR 40 to 43 on February 26 at $23. Draws on the back row but is working up to a win.
