Christmas Eve racing heads to Tamworth on Sunday afternoon, with a competitive seven-race program set to get underway at 1:50pm local time. The rail is in the true position the entire circuit, and with a minor chance of showers hitting the course proper, the current Soft 5 rating at the time of writing should hold true for race-day.
Best Bet: Macleay
Macleay almost made a winning return to racing at Armidale on December 3 after 334 days off the scene. The son of Ready For Victory had zero luck turning for home, running into nothing but backsides at a crucial stage, before savaging the wire when getting clear with 200m to travel. The Cody Morgan barn sent Macleay back to the trials to regain that winning feeling since, and with an extra 100m to be a major benefit, watch for this guy to be storming over the top in this Class 2 contest.
Best Bet
Race 2 – 
#1 Macleay (10)
6yo Gelding | T: Cody Morgan | J: Aaron Bullock (61.5kg)
+230 with Bet365
Next Best: Custo
Custo was impressive lugging 64.5kg to victory first-up into the campaign but was unable to make it back-to-back wins in a testing Highway contest at Randwick on November 7. He pinged the lids to sit three-wide on speed on that occasion and knocked up after a torrid run in transit. We anticipate similar tactics in this event; however, this time Aaron Bullock will attempt to cross to the rail – and if he does, Custo will take plenty of chasing in the concluding stages.
Next Best
Race 5 – 
#4 Custo (5)
4yo Gelding | T: Stephen Jones | J: Aaron Bullock (59kg)
+200 with Neds
Best Value: Seahaven
After chasing home Indifference in open company for his first two starts of the preparation, Seahaven should be much better suited taking a step back in grade on Sunday afternoon. The gelding by Mikki Isle has never missed the frame at this course and distance, and the appointment of Cobi Vitler seems to be a key one. It should allow Seahaven to use his early toe to lead, and with 60kg on his back in this BM66 affair, the five-year-old looks perfectly placed to chalk up career win number four.
Best Value
Race 4 – 
#1 Seahaven (4)
5yo Gelding | T: Janne Clement | J: Cobi Vitler (a3kg) (63kg)
