Tamworth Race 4

Nswsoa Hunter/North West - Members Bonus Final

Prize Money: $14,640

HE SAID SHE SAID (2) has continued a long string of wins and placings by scoring in his last two outings at this circuit and distance, last time digging deep to get home by a head. Draws closer to the pegs so is a big chance to land the hat trick. ROCK FISHERMAN (1) could be close to another win after placing in his last two starts here, last time coming from the back row to go under by less than 2m. Should get every chance from the ace draw. ASHLEYS BLUE CHIP (7) had put the writing on the wall with back-to-back seconds before coming from wider on this row to score by more than 5m here last week. Go well again. THOMAS ROYAL (9) could be close to a win after finishing runner-up in three of his last four starts, two of them from this draw.

Good performance when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Paratrouper at this track over 1980m in a NR up to 55 on January 9 at $5. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing third behind Reds Good To Go at this track over 1980m in a NR up to 60 on January 17 at $4. Close to a win and draws to advantage.

Eight-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1980m. Last start tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a head when quickly away, (Fr4) at this track (2:27.60) beating Thomas Royal in NR up to 55 on January 9 at $4.40 at the bell was 2nd-3. Back here for a tilt at the hat-trick and will prove very hard to stop.

Solid run when beaten by 2 m finishing fourth behind He Said She Said at this track over 1980m in a NR up to 55 on January 9 at $4. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.4 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Sweetly Spoken at Newcastle over 2030m in a NR up to 55 on January 16 at $7.50. Among the exotic chances.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after being driven well back, behind Mister Fonzi at this track over 1980m in a NR up to 55 on January 14 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Ashleys Blue Chip at this track over 1980m in a NR up to 60 on January 17 at $3.10. Player with even luck.

Hard to have on those efforts.
