Tamworth Tips April 24

McDonalds Tamworth - Country Magic Tips (Race 5)

Tamworth Next Best Bet - Race 5 No. 7 Off The Scale

Being first-up over 1400m and with a wide barrier to overcome, a drift wouldn't shock here with Off The Scale, although she was in the market via all country appearances last prep.

The three-year-old was heavily backed on debut, where 1200m was too sharp and following a 1500m breakthrough, she wasn't disgraced in the Group 3 Spring Stakes at Newcastle.

This looks a thin race outside of Mount Bona, who is at start four in a first prep and coming off two heavy track runs, and class can take Off The Scale a long way here despite the negatives.

Tamworth City Toyota Tamworth Cup Tips (Race 7)

Tamworth Feature Bet - Race 7 No. 6 Green Shadows

This five-year-old is prepared by a noted fresh stable and three of his five career wins have come either first or second-up (two fresh), so he often comes to handy early in his work.

Green Shadows broke a long drought first-up last autumn and two more victories were recorded that prep, with the highlight coming in August when successful in the Goulburn Cup.

Prior to that win, Green Shadows covered ground in a BM88 that was won by West Of Africa, who he has a big wight swing and he wasn't wearing blinkers in two fair trials leading into this.

Elite Sand And Soil John Clift Memorial Tips (Race 8)

Tamworth Best Bet - Race 8 No. 12 Quick Sharp

She was tipped out after a comfortable Scone victory on debut last spring and there were some excuses as a beaten odds-on fav when resuming at Dubbo last month (lacerations).

Quick Sharp has placed in two subsequent attempts and that includes a brave performance second-up in a fast-run race, where she was clearly the pick of the on-speed brigade.

Although beaten as a well-backed fav third-up, Quick Shap ran the fastest last 400m and 200m of the April 7 program, while Reece Jones is back aboard (he was on for the debut win).
