Tamworth Race 2 - Star Maker Cafe @ Diggers Pace
ZACHAROONI (10) turned in a strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out by a head at this circuit and distance. May need some luck from this draw but is up to winning this if things go his way. JOHNNY DEE (4) has been racing well of late. Came from this barrier and finished third at his latest appearance at Newcastle. Primary contender. THUNDAMENTAL (6) is heading the right way, working from the back line last start but fighting well to be beaten less than 2m into second at this circuit and distance. Last-start placegetter THREE PARTS GREY (1) is a player again from the inside draw.

Two back was well beaten into tenth after being driven well back, behind Unit Forty One at this track over 1980m on May 21 at $151. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind Agiftfromtheangels at this track over 1609m on May 28 at $13. One of the chances.
