Tocumwal Race 5 - Tocumwal Gold Cup
PLAY ON WORDS (9) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when seventh over 1350m at Donald after he was in contention on the corner. Should be peaking now and can find winning form this time. EAMONN'S MEMORY (1) missed the frame two back on turf over 1400m at Wagga but improved sharply on the dirt last time, scoring over 1400m at Carrathool. Looks a leading contender again. MOJO MUSIC (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he got a long way back over 1200m at Kilmore, beaten 3 lengths into seventh. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player. CLAYMORE MINE (8) has not won for a long while. Last raced on April 6 when beaten 7 lengths into sixth at Gundagai over 1400m. In the right race and should be about the money. Something for the Multiples: IMPOSING TALLULAH (10)
