HAZELLS TAMWORTH - LOCAL TRAINERS DRAW PACE 1609m

Track: FAST   Rain (Max: 30)    

HEZA DOOZIE (1) is in terrific form having won his last two outings at this circuit. Led in both of those so has the speed to take advantage of the ace draw and he drops to a distance where his strike rate stands at 50 per cent. ARNIES ARMY (5) is in good form with top-three finishes at his last five stars here including a win from this barrier last month. Got within a neck of Heza Doozie when off the back row last week so is a chance to turn the tables. MISTER CHEESE (3) draws well and has put the writing on the wall with a couple of seconds recently, missing by just a head last time ASHLEYS BLUE CHIP (9) has a strong record here and was solid when coming from a similar barrier for fourth to Heza Doozie last time out.
