Tamworth Race 8 - Lounges Plus - Best Value Furniture Pace
DOUGS RULES (7) was fourth from this barrier when resuming then improved to score narrowly at this venue last week. Should strip fitter again and with even luck could go on with the job. AMILLION PROMISES (2) wasn't too far from the placegetters last time and came from tougher draws than this to place in his previous two outings. Should enjoy the favours from this barrier. Big chance. RAINBOW JET (4) produced a strong effort from a similar draw last time out when beaten just a head as runner-up at this circuit. Go well again. NIGHT TO REMEMBER (1) has been solid in the last two outings here and draws to advantage.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Mccrikey at this track over 1980m in a NR up to 55 on February 19 at $51. Then a handy effort when a close second behind My Rock Moves at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 53 on February 26 at $23. One of the contenders.
