SIXT CAR & TRUCK RENTAL TAMWORTH PACE 1609m

Track: FAST   Clear (Max: 21)    

FIFTYSHADES CRESCO (3) has been racing well, put the writing on the wall with back-to-back placings at Penrith before delivering a win by 5m at Newcastle last time. A good draw gives her every chance to back that up. MEGS MONARO (4) has been mixing his form at Newcastle of late but did land a win there last month. Has placed both times he raced here. Contender. SEVEN RIPPIN ACES (7) is a player after coming from this barrier for a last-start win by 8.4 metres at this circuit. CLASSIC ARC (10) draws on the second line but must be respected after scoring last start at this venue.
