Visit Dabble |
The new week of racing gets underway at Tamworth on Monday afternoon, where a quickfire seven-race program awaits punters. The rail is in the true position throughout the entire circuit, apart from the 1000m starting chute, where the rail has been moved out +3m. The forecast looks promising, with only light showers expected to hit the course, so the surface shouldn’t worsen from the current Soft 7 rating at the time of writing. The opener is scheduled to get underway at 1:35pm AEST.
Best Bet: Great Siege
After a change of stables and 571 days off the scene, Great Siege finally resumes for the Holly Williams barn on Monday afternoon. He suffered a setback at the end of his last campaign and has since undergone a gelding operation to prepare for this first-up target. His latest jump-out at Armidale on March 18 caught the eye as he bounded clear by 1.7 lengths on the wire, and with Aaron Bullock hopping aboard the lightly raced four-year-old, Great Siege will take a power of beating in this maiden contest.
Best Bet
Race 3 – #2 Great Siege (9)

Next Best: Fuld’s Doubt
Fuld’s Doubt appears to have turned a corner this preparation, with an impressive first-up maiden victory at Scone on March 22. The daughter of Not A Single Doubt raced greenly throughout the journey and was forced to knuckle down to the task before scooting clear in the concluding stages. The three-year-old is well-in at the weights courtesy of the 1.5kg claim of Chelsea Hillier, and although barrier 12 may prove tricky to overcome, Fuld’s Doubt looks classy enough to get the job done.

Race 7 – #10 Fuld’s Doubt (12)
3yo Filly | T: Rodney Northam | J: Chelsea Hillier (a1.5) (57kg)
+140 with Neds
Best Value: Powderfinger
Powderfinger drops back into winnable company on Monday afternoon and looks perfectly placed for a return to the winners’ enclosure. The daughter of Caravaggio has found some testing material in her two latest efforts at Muswellbrook in BM66 grade, with her most recent start bombing out by 6.5 lengths. If you forgive that run, her form prior reads particularly well, dropping into Class 2, and with the wet track conditions an added benefit, Powderfinger should be ready to rock in this.
Best Value
Race 5 – #3 Powderfinger (4)
4yo Mare | T: Luke Pepper | J: Ben Looker (59kg)
