Tamworth Race 4 - Garrards Horse And Hound Encouragement Pace
TASMANS DELIGHT (3) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 2.25 metres from the winner in second over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a comparable field and she can figure in the finish. CORAL CAYS (9) was out of the money last start when 7 metres from the winner in sixth over 1609m at this track. Best form reference might be her win at this track four starts back. Not drawn to best so may need a 10/10 drive. This should be an easier assignment so she is sure to prove tough to beat. PHAR LUME NZ (2) could only manage to finish ninth when resuming over 1609m at Newcastle last start. Fitter has each-way claims. JEREMY LOU (5) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Fair run when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second behind Katastrophee at Narrabri over 1760m in a NR up to 45 on April 12 at $2.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Sparkling Sue at this track over 1609m in a NR 40 to 43 on April 16 at $7. Rates highly and can go one better.
