Tamworth Race 5

Farrer Security Pace

Stake: $10,869

KARALTA COURAGE (7) made an encouraging return from a lengthy spell when runner-up at this circuit before a fourth at Menangle last Saturday. Goes well third-up so should be close to peak fitness now. RUM DELIGHT (5) was a winner here last month and turned in a good effort again last time out when runner-up, beaten 1.1 metres. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is going well. BE GOOD BENNY (2) hasn't been far away at his last couple including a second at this venue. Should get his chance from the low draw. CLASSIC ARC (8) can be competitive if things go his way from the second line.

Two back was well beaten into ninth after being driven well back, behind Bettor Keep Rocking at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 47 on August 28 at $151. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Yogi at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 32 on September 4 at $5. Top-three prospects.
