TAMWORTH CITY TOYOTA SHOWCASE SUPER MAIDEN PLATE 1400m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: True.  

Reflecting Fame to take up the running at a moderate tempo. ROCKBARTON ANGEL (13) returned in good order with a fast finishing third over 1300m at Scone on June 11. This looks easier and Osmond sticks. Extra trip suits and look for her charging late. GRANDINI (11) sharp improvement at second race start when up in trip for a determined second over 1300m at Scone on June 11. Has plenty of upside but the wide draw just makes it that little bit tougher. Stays in the mix. AIN'T SHE SWELL (8) is set to peak today and gets the blinkers added for the first time. Will appreciate the drop in class after plugging home into fourth over 1500m at Newcastle on June 15. Firmer deck helps and gets the right run. REFLECTING FAME (6) So You Think gelding resuming for a new stable. Tired late on debut when eighth over 1412m at Benalla on April 5. Fitted with two trials and trained on the track. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 13,11,8,6.
