Tamworth Betting Tips, Best Bets & Odds for March 7

We landed the cash on last Sunday's Country Qualifier meeting from Mudgee with Akasawa and again, we'll be cheering on the famous black and yellow Arrowfield colours, this time with Deepwood Vale who arrives here second-up off a good return effort.

After being checked early in that 1300m contest at Scone, the daughter of Redoute's Choice was back to an awkward position off the speed, towards the inside and despite balancing up late then rattling home, Fleet Air Arm had pinched too much of a break.

That winner had bolted in on debut the start prior in very good time for Maiden class, so simply, she may have just run into a handy one and finding a slightly weaker contest here over a more suitable 1400m, this mare does look the one to beat with a pinch of luck from a wide draw.

I wouldn't at all be surprised if this edition of the Country Qualifier was one of the stronger heats going into the $500,000 final on April 3 and with a big field along with good speed engaged, I'm siding with this four-year-old who is well in under the Set Weights conditions.

One of two gallopers participating at Tamworth on Sunday for the powerful Brett Cavanough stable, Eiger had some genuine city form last winter where after a Highway victory, took on subsequent Group One winner Montefilia and wasn't disgraced although didn't handle the heavy track.

With a fast tempo up front and off a good base so far this campaign, this four-year-old will be looking to sit off that speed under jockey Ashley Morgan while as a proven performer over this trip, he'll have the fresh legs late and is a leading chance if within striking distance.
