Tamworth Race 2 - R U Ok Day Pace
Former Victorian SOFT LANDING (4) made an encouraging start for the new yard when 3 metres away in third when resuming at Newcastle. Led there so expect him to push forward and with added fitness under the belt could be hard to stop. SLICK AND SUAVE (7) is a long-time maiden but has has been racing well. Finished only 4.4m away at his latest appearance at Newcastle and had put together a string of top-four results prior. Contender. MCCHIPS (5) is a four-year-old entire by McWicked on debut. Has been trialling well so could make an immediate impact. DAVIDS TIGER (6) draws wide for his debut but has strong trial form coming into this, winning his latest hitout at Newcastle. Keep safe.

Second-up here following a spell. Game effort when 3rd (Fr3) over 1609m after showing early pace at Newcastle, beaten 3 m by Eagleye (1:55.60) on September 4 at $2.70. Fitter and has winning claims.

Last start 5th (Fr5) over 1609m after showing early pace at Newcastle beaten 4.5 m by Eagleye (1:55.60) on September 4 at $6. Before that, a solid effort despite hanging in on scoring up, when 2nd (Sr3) over 1609m at Newcastle was 6th-6.61 at the bell, beaten 18 m by Decoupage (1:54.40) on August 21 at $41. Can be right there at the business end.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Delaney at this track over 1609m on August 20 at $19. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind My Confidant at this track over 1609m on August 27 at $21. Heading the right way now.
