Tamworth Race 4 - Just Believe Honour Board Now On-Site Pace
COOGEE (8) ran fourth last start at this track over 1609m and may need luck at some stage extracting from the inside of the second row but if he can find the fance and get a soft run he has the talent to take care of this field. Places a lot more than he wins but this is within range. ELITE GEORGE (9) finished seventh last start at Newcastle over 1609m but not beaten far and there is no great depth here. Expected to run well. RAINBOW TITAN (5) disappointed last time when tenth over 1609m at Newcastle but is another that can bounce back in calmer waters. BLACKMIRRA (4) ran a solid race when sixth over 1609m at Newcastle and is worth considering.

Last start was well beaten into tenth after a quick start, behind Letsgetrowdy at Newcastle over 1609m on August 10 at $3.40. Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 2nd (Sr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.5 m by Im Belieber (1:58.60) on August 6 at $8.50. Rates highly and can do much better.

Seven-year-old mare showed improvement last time. 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 m by Lachies Ideal (1:58.00) on August 6 at $19. The run before was not as impressive when beaten by 2.75 m finishing fourth behind Jeremy Lou at this track over 1980m on July 30 at $7. Not keen.
