TAMWORTH CITY TOYOTA ***BIG DANCE ELIGIBILITY*** TAMWORTH SHOWCASE CUP 1400m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: True.  

Genuine pace headed by Walking Painting from his wide alley. GRINGOTTS (8) unleashed a strong turn of foot inside the final 150m when resumed with a classy victory over this trip at Rosehill in BM88 class on March 30. Looks destined for better races and will take plenty of stopping on the limit weight. OVERRIDING (5) third-up today after beating a handy field last start over 1500m in the Muswellbrook Cup at Newcastle on April 6. Has a solid win record and Ben Looker retains the ride from the inside gate. KINLOCH (3) classy gelding who always gives his all. Anchored with thew 59kg when rattled late to finish second at Newcastle in the Muswellbook Cup over 1500m on April 6. Watch for him motoring late. COIN TOSS (2) third-up today and won third-up in the past. Sat on a strong early speed when faded to finish 13th behind Another Wil over 1500m in the G3 Donc Prelude at Rosehill on March 30. Kept fresh and look for a much better showing today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 8,5,3,2.
