Tamworth Race 2 - Mcdonalds Tamworth Country Boosted Mdn Plate
YANABAH (5) is holding his form and gets his chance to break the string of quinella placings. There was only a whisker here last time when he jumped a $2.40 favourite. XERXES (4) was forward before fading out of contention at Scone. He led beaten a nose here prior and is a decent chance to bounce if the awkward barrier is managed. ROPEWALKER (2) led and went close here last time over 1200m and will be better for it. Strips fitter and gives himself every chance. He's worth another chance over the longer sprint. CHURPEL (12) is speedy and went okay second-up. She will have come on and should be around the mark.

Having third race start. At very long odds at debut, sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 10 at this track Mdn-Sw on July 18 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 6 len behind Great Idea carrying 57kg at $101. Second-up 9th of 12 at this track F&M Mdn-Sw on August 15 over 1200m, 6 len behind Kickoff carrying 56kg at $101. Must improve sharply.
