Tips and race-by-race guide for Tamworth on Monday

Track soft 5 and rail out 3m from 1000m to 350m and true the remainder. Northfire has shown some promise despite not having much go his way in four runs to open his career. Worked home OK at Moree last start, draws to get a soft run and winkers go on. Suited up to the mile, leading country jockey sticks solid and is over the odds. 7. Oakfield Nevada is a filly from the leading provincial stable that worked home late on heavy ground in just his second start. Settles closer here from a softer draw, and is the clear threat. 9. White Waves is a lightly raced stablemate of the former, and can improve sharply second up getting off a heavy surface. How to play it: Northfire to win. Racing heads to Tamworth on Monday. Ordinary Angel is a lightly raced three-year-old ready to break through after chasing home a dominant winner at Gunnedah when backed from $5.50 into $4.40. Drawn to find a nice trail, and better placed around this bigger circuit. 3. Haras is also banging on the door after only being run down late as a hot favourite second up at Moree. Gap to the rest headed by 6. Don’t Say Do, improving second up off a lengthy break. How to play it: Ordinary Angel to win. Supido Star is a progressive enough filly that can go one better after making up plenty of ground to beat all but the winner in her past two. Hard fit, with a superior jockey back on, and importantly she’s drawn to settle back and get to the outside. Lucci, an ex-Queensland filly five weeks between runs, having her first outing for the new Scone stable and under a light weight after the jockey’s 4kg claim. 2. Scathingly is over the odds second up from a low draw. 3. Eezitosort should improve second up despite drawing wide. How to play it: Supido Star to win. Bellini Spritz can bounce back third up after not having much luck from a wide draw in a much deeper Saturday class 3 Highway. This is the weakest race she’s tackled since bolting home in a BM66 . Up in trip and has to carry a big weight, but she’s ready to peak back against country opposition. 3. Spenzalot is the immediate threat getting back on a firmer surface over longer third up. 2. Currumbin Alley is very consistent, having beaten all but the winner in three consecutive outings before easily claiming a weaker class 1.
