Tamworth Race 8 - Petermac On-Course Photography Pace
JAYJAYBENNY (1) produced another good effort at his latest appearance, coming from the back row and getting home by 1.6m at this venue. That success meant he has won both times he has raced here since switching from Queensland and the ace draw gives him the chance to deliver again. COTE DAZUR NZ (7) continued a strong run of recent form when he came from this barrier and scored by 2.2 metres at Newcastle last time. Also won here last month so is going well. Big chance to keep the ball rolling. FAST TRACKER (4) resumes after three-and-a-half months but has been readied with a trial. His best form would stack up strongly. BAT MATSON (3) was solid when midfield from the back row at Newcastle last week and came from this barrier to score at this circuit and distance prior. Contender.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Sr2) over 2030m at Newcastle was leading by 0.27 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Pops Joy (2:27.70) on July 17 at $26. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 5.5 m when quickly away, (Fr3) at this track (2:27.00) beating Three Rivers in on July 9 at $7.50 at the bell was 5th-6.73. Drawn well and can do better.
