TAMWORTH PREVIEW AND TIPS | EXPERT TIPS | THURSDAY OCTOBER 24TH 2024
750m Track with a 150m Home Straight. No Sprint Lane. 6 horses across the front row.
A rare Thursday meeting for Tamworth with a strong Waratah heat the highlight on a good 9 race program.
RACE 1 | TOP 4 SELECTIONS
3. Two Cracked Corn
9. Didshedoit
1. Imlika
6. Watsluvgottado
Betting Strategy
Two Cracked Corn finished 3rd in a NSW Breeders challenge heat before finishing 7th in the Semi Final. She drops back in class here and looks the likely leader. She will be hard to catch if thats the case. Its the first good draw Imlika has had with the new stable, so I wouldnt be surprised if they are positive tonight.
Didshedoit has always shown good ability when she has her head in the game as evidenced by her 1st run for Tom Ison when only 1.4 secs outside the 1980 Tamworth track record. Freshened up for this, she will be dangerous if she gets the desired tempo.
RACE 2 | TOP 4 SELECTIONS
5. Sky Diamond
7. Bradness June
9. Nifty Studleigh
8. Limousine Cheeky
Betting Strategy
BACK: 5. Sky Diamond (WIN) for 3 units (Rated at $1.80)
Sky Diamond was an excellent winner this track/distance 2 starts back when doing plenty of work in the run. A lot went wrong for him last start but he still found the line well. He gets a front draw tonight to press forward early and looks the likely leader. If thats the case, he will take a lot of running down.
RACE 3 | TOP 4 SELECTIONS
3. Rouge Bling
1. Soho Sinatra
2. Superbon
8. Far Out Ringo
Betting Strategy
Excellent Up to 66 Waratah heat here. Rouge Bling is racing well and draws to get a nice run near the speed. He gets the services of Tom Ison tonight. Soho Sinatra will have to be used to hold the front but if he manages to hold up, he looks a good chance. Superbon was strong last start from a midfield position and draws to settle closer in the run tonight.
RACE 4 | TOP 4 SELECTIONS
9. La Derniere
2. My Ultimate Cossie
4. Triple Emm
1. Ideal Heaven
Betting Strategy
BACK: 9. La Derniere (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at $2.20)
La Derniere was a comfortable winner at Newcastle last start. She looks well graded here despite her back row draw.
RACE 5 | TOP 4 SELECTIONS
2. He Said She Said
8. Seven Rippin Aces
7. Stick Man
1. Van Niekerk
Betting Strategy
He Said She Said looks hardest to beat from the good draw. He should find himself in front. He can get quite keen in the run but if he does settle he will be hard to catch. Seven Rippin Aces gets a different map tonight compared to last start when leading/winning but he ran good time and he does follow out He Said She Said and should land a good position.
RACE 6 | TOP 4 SELECTIONS
5. Lydias Art
3. Marvella
10. Good Word That
1. Arma Rolling Stone
Betting Strategy
BACK: 5. Lydias Art (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at $4.00)
Lydias Art was terrific last start when sustaining a long run from back in the field in a much stronger race. He does draw a little tricky tonight but there is the potential for good early speed here.
RACE 7 | TOP 4 SELECTIONS
8. Very Needy
6. San Saba
3. Barrys Brother
5. Tafl Move
Betting Strategy
BACK: 8. Very Needy (WIN) for 1 unit (Rated at $7.00)
Small play on Very Needy who should be good odds here. He enjoys the longer trip and had no luck last start in a much stronger race when dragged back by a tiring runner. He should get a nice midfield run tonight and I think he will be in the finish.
RACE 8 | SELECTIONS
3. Oak Ridge
8. Celebrity Princess
4. Syncopated Shuffle
5. Francos Delight
Betting Strategy
BACK: 3. Oak Ridge (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at $3.50)
Oak Ridge was close up in a solid 2yo race at Newcastle 3 starts back. He has been a little bit disappointing his last 2 runs but he gets the right draw/race tonight. He is a good beginner and I think he can be the first to the marker line and should have options from that position.
RACE 9 | TOP 4 SELECTIONS
4. Rippin Good Feelin
5. Be Good Benny
1. Caesars Rockstar
9. Certainlycallitin
Betting Strategy
Open race to finish the night. Rippin Good Feelin was very good at Newcastle last start when forced to do work in the run. He might have to do work in the run again tonight depending on the tactics of Caesars Rockstart but should be thereabouts. Be Good Benny put 3 very good runs in a row together before disappointing off a good trip at Newcastle last Friday. If he can recapture his previous efforts, he will be hard to hold out.
