Tamworth Race 8

Welcome Mini Trotters - State Championships Pace

Stake: $10,771

ELEGANT GROOVES (6) finished fourth last start over 1660m at Albion Park, beaten only 6 metres. Best recent result was a win at Albion Park three starts ago over 1660m. This doesn't look as hard so she is sure to prove tough to beat. ESCALERA (5) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last four starts, most recently recording a second over 1609m at Newcastle. Meets a comparable field so he can add to the impressive recent efforts. A LOT OF LUVIN (4) is better than her last-start seventh over 1609m at Menangle. Will find this task easier. DIDSHEDOIT (10) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 1609m at Newcastle last time out.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr2) over 1609m at Menangle beaten 14 m by Maria Allegonda (1:52.50) in NR up to 85 M on April 12 at $34. Showed ability the race before when she won by 1.2 m when quickly away, (Fr1) at Newcastle (1:53.70) beating John Mclean in NR 57 to 67 on April 4 at $6. Can improve enough to feature.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.75 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind A Lot Of Luvin at Newcastle over 1609m in a NR 57 to 67 on April 4 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.75 m finishing second behind Our Ideal Dream at Newcastle over 1609m in a NR up to 62 on April 11 at $6.50. Expected to be in the finish again.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing seventh behind A Lot Of Luvin at Newcastle over 1609m in a NR 57 to 67 on April 4 at $14. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Our Ideal Dream at Newcastle over 1609m in a NR up to 62 on April 11 at $17. Nice effort last time. Others are better chances.

Two back was fifth behind Swell Time at Newcastle over 1609m in a NR up to 90 on March 13 at $6. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Seve at Newcastle over 1609m in a NR 68 to 80 on April 4 at $10. Can improve. Sure to be thereabouts.
