Tamworth tips and results

Our price $3.50 · SP $3.60 · Luke Rolls

Fulmen Filou brings the strongest recent form into this race with a last-start win at Armidale over 1900m. His consistency is impressive with 11 top-three finishes from 17 starts. The inside draw is perfect for Tamworth's tight turning track, and he should get an ideal run just off the pace. While rising in class, his progressive profile suggests he's ready for this challenge.

Our price $7.00 · SP $13.00 · Cassey Williams

His recent form includes a close 3rd at Armidale over 1900m, and he has a solid record at Tamworth with 1 win from 6 starts. The inside barrier is ideal for this track, and his proven ability at similar distances suggests the 2100m will suit. While rising in class, his consistency (46% place rate) makes him an attractive each-way proposition.

Our price $3.80 · SP $2.60 · Jenny Duggan

Rufus Atticus brings the strongest recent form with a close second at Gunnedah over 1300m last start. The gelding is showing clear improvement with each run and has the experienced Jenny Duggan aboard. Should settle midfield and be suited by the genuine tempo. While unproven at the mile, his racing pattern suggests he'll appreciate the step up in distance. The wider barrier is somewhat mitigated by the fairer mile start at Tamworth.

Our price $5.50 · SP $8.50 · Aaron Bullock

Compadre brings the advantage of barrier 1 and the services of top jockey Aaron Bullock. The lightly-raced gelding showed improvement last start with a fourth at Gunnedah over 1300m. Should take up a forward position from the inside gate, which is advantageous at Tamworth. While unproven at the mile, his on-pace style should be suited by Tamworth's configuration. Less exposed than our top two selections but has tactical advantages.

Our price $10.00 · SP $13.00 · Leeshelle Small

Unlike many rivals, he brings valuable track experience with 6 previous runs at Tamworth including a placing. Has proven stamina with 7 starts at similar distances including 2 placings. The wide barrier is a concern, but the light weight (54.5kg) and consistent recent form offset this. A seasoned campaigner who knows his way around Tamworth.

Our price $15.00 · SP $21.00 · Billy Cray

He's previously placed over the mile at this track and gets in with just 55kg. While he needs to improve, the track setup could suit his running style.

Our price $3.80 · SP $5.50 · Leeshelle Small

The Dramatist brings the strongest credentials into this race with an excellent record at this track and distance (1 win, 1 placing from 2 starts) and a strong second-up profile (2 wins from 6 starts). His last start second indicates a return to form, and he's dropping in class here. While carrying top weight is a concern, his class edge and affinity for the track compensate for this disadvantage.

Our price $4.20 · SP $3.10 · Jacob Stiff

Stratified brings consistent recent form into this race with a win and placing in his last three starts. While stepping up in class, his versatile racing style should allow him to take advantage of the likely fast tempo, either sitting handy or finishing strongly.

Our price $5.50 · SP $4.60 · Jenny Duggan

Zecchini brings solid credentials with two second placings from three starts. First-up from a spell but has performed well fresh before (1: 0-1-0). The significant class drop is a positive factor, and Jenny Duggan is a capable jockey. Barrier 7 isn't ideal at Tamworth's tight 1000m start, but her consistent form and ability to place make her a genuine contender for the minor placings.

Our price $12.00 · SP $31.00 · Mikayla Weir

The booking of Mikayla Weir is significant, and her recent form suggests she's ready to run a big race.

Our price $2.80 · SP $2.40 · Grady Spokes

Maxandus brings strong credentials from barrier 1, which is crucial at Tamworth's tight 1000m start. The class rise is significant but his tactical speed from the inside gate should allow him to dictate terms in a race with very fast predicted tempo.

Our price $21.00 · SP $15.00 · Cassey Williams

Second-up today with a good second-up record (0-0-1 from 2 starts), she'll carry just 54.5kg.

Our price $5.00 · SP $7.00 · Shannen Llewellyn

Amoruso represents excellent value as a lightly-raced mare with a strong record (1-0-1 from 2 starts). Second-up today after a solid third placing first-up, she's proven at the distance and should improve.

Our price $6.00 · SP $13.00 · Jake Pracey-Holmes

Her consistency is impressive with 3 seconds from 6 starts, and she performs well on Good tracks with 3 seconds from 5 starts. While she's yet to break through for a win, her recent performances suggest she's knocking on the door. Jake Pracey-Holmes knows her well and should give her every chance.

Our price $30.00 · SP $101.00 · Zac Wadick

The Troy O'Neile stable knows how to prepare a horse.

Our price $4.80 · SP $11.00 · Aaron Bullock

Four Degrees brings the strongest recent form into this race with a convincing win at Mudgee over the same distance. His consistency is impressive with 2 wins, 1 second and 1 third from 7 starts. The likely on-pace position suits Tamworth's configuration, and Aaron Bullock is a significant jockey booking. While the weight and class rise are concerns, his tactical versatility and strong form pattern make him the standout.
