Tamworth Race 1 - Welcome Tradelink Tamworth Mdn Plate
SILENT SERENADE (10) missed a whisker here on debut when expected to need it. Strips fitter and she can go one better. BULLION HUNTER (1) led and found a place on debut and has trialled well for his return. Will be naturally improved and Bullock is a key jockey booking. BACKHANDER (8) debuts for a top metro yard and was tried in Listed grade last time. They must have an opinion and she's trialled well at Gosford for her return. Draws inside with a 2kg claim and the betting will tell the story. The Cavanough-trained pair BY LINDA (4) and BRAVALATANTE (9) should be around the mark. They both have upside.

Resuming from a lengthy break. Only one run when rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 12 at Dubbo Ctry Mdn on October 4 over 1000m, 2.5 len behind Light Infantry with 56.5kg at $2.80. Anticipating him to hit the ground running.

Dual acceptor. Four-year-old gelding (Magnus - Rueannie) will no doubt benefit from the three trials leading in today's debut. Was third in a Gosford trial over 800m on July 23. Happy to risk without a significant market move.
