Tamworth Race 3 - Kce Civil Contractors Mornington Prelude (Bm80)
A few of the key chances come out but it is still tricky with five of the six remaining runners harbouring strong claims. TAJAWAL (3) stalked the speed then lengthened impressively to easily take out a BM66 over 2018m at Taree last time out. Up in grade but enjoys a 3.5 kg drop in the weights. Major player again. OUR BAMBINO (1) struggled over the mile in heavy going at Wyong last start. Won't mind this step up in distance and should be peaking at the fourth run back. SUIT DAY (8) goes well here at this trip and is rarely far from the money. Has been competitive of late carrying 60kg or more so he won't know himself today under just 55kg. RING AHOY (2) was plain last start after a big effort in the Cup at Quirindi the run prior. Query at the trip but still a player. WAITAPU (9) is fitter for three runs back from a spell and did win last prep at his only try over this course and distance.

Most recently sat on the pace before fading 8th of 10 at Wyong Cond Bm68 on March 12 over 1600m, on rain affected going; 9 len behind Oakfield Prince carrying 60kg at $21. The race before that 7th of 12 at Mudgee Mudgee Cup Mb78 on February 23 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Osman with 55.5kg at $26. Worth a small each-way investment.

At the latest run got back early 8th of 13 at Hawkesbury Bm64 on March 8 over 1800m, slow going 6 len behind Sunshine Law with 55.5kg at $26. The race before that ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 9 at Quirindi Quir Cup Bm86 on February 21 over 1600m, 1.75 len behind Aimpoint with 55.5kg at $8.50. Worth another chance.

Most recently raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 2.25 len at Taree Bm66 March 17 over 2018m on a rain affected track defeating Yorikiri with 62kg at $4.40. The race before that 5th of 8 at Gosford Cl1-Sw on February 22 over 2100m, on a slow track; 10 len behind War Ribbon carrying 56kg at $3.30. Sure to go well again.

Racing well. Last start eased back early on 4th of 7 at Beaumont (Newcastle) Bm58 on March 24 over 2100m, on rain affected going; 3 len behind Flying Argento with 61kg at $10. Before that 2nd of 7 at Scone Bm58 on March 4 over 2200m, slow going 1.2 len behind So You Are carrying 60.5kg at $9. Consistent and should be thereabouts.

Last start 6th of 9 at Grafton Bm50 on March 22 over 1610m, on a wet track; 6 len behind Intentional Lass carrying 60.5kg at $11. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 8 at Grafton Bm58 on March 16 over 2200m, slow going 6 len behind Gandolfini carrying 55.5kg at $21. Unlikely to be playing a role in the finish.
