Tamworth Race 5 - Remembering Dan Costello Pace
IM BELIEBER (8) has been most impressive of late and he made it two in a row when successful at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by 2.5 metres. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw and will be looking for a split at some stage. Meets a comparable field and he can figure in the finish. WHENS LUNCH (9) finished fourth at this track two runs ago before a comparable effort at her latest appearance over 1609m at Newcastle, beaten 4 metres. Will need an ounce of luck to slot in from this tricky draw. Meets a similar quality field and is good enough to take out a race like this. ASCOT SHOWTIME (4) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. TABRA (10) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out.
