Tamworth Race 7 - Tmfm95.5 - Afternoons With Dan Saunders Pace
ASCOT SHOWTIME (2) has had a month off and has switched yards since coming from this barrier and getting home by more than 8 metres at Albion Park. Two-time winner at this circuit and distance and looks well placed so can make an immediate impact. The recent form of LACHIES IDEAL (1) may not leap off the page but he has been coming from wider or second row barriers. Looking for big improvement from the ace draw. WHENS LUNCH (4) has won the last two times she has raced here, coming from a similar barrier and digging deep to get home by a neck last start. Could strike again. EBBONY STORM (3) turned in a good effort last start to come from the back row and clock in third at this circuit and distance. Draws for another good showing.

Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start 9th (Fr6) over 1609m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track beaten 50 m by Avenger (1:57.20) on July 9 at $23. The run before 10th (Fr4) over 1609m after showing early pace at Newcastle beaten 20 m by Jacqueline Rose (1:55.90) on June 5 at $1.65. Worth another chance. Drawn favourably so can turn the form around.

Good performance when beaten by 6 m finishing fourth behind Ozzie Pearl at this track over 1609m in a M on June 25 at $18. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Avenger at this track over 1609m on July 9 at $18. Draws well and could be there at the business end.

Failed to impress last start; was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr8) over 1609m at Newcastle was 10th-18.33 at the bell, beaten 16 m by Boulevardofdreams (1:52.40) on July 10 at $51. Showed ability the run before when he won by 2 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr1) at this track (2:29.40) beating Bettathanmozarella in on June 25 at $1.50 at the bell was leading 1.59. May improve.
