Narrabri Race 3

Western Namio Vet Services And Gordon Roadways Santos Heat 1

Prize Money: $9,792

OTIS RISING (1) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 22 metres into eighth at Tamworth over 1609m. Steps up a level but from this better draw he is capable of running a huge race. IM BELIEBER (7) finished fourth last start over 1609m at Tamworth, beaten 10 metres, after a modest fifth at Dubbo the run prior. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw and will be looking for a split at some stage. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. ANNIE CROCKER (5) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at Tamworth last time out. ADRENALINE RUSH (6) disappointed last time when eighth over 1980m at Tamworth. Can do a lot better so worth considering.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start was well back in the run when 8th (Fr6) over 1609m at Tamworth beaten 22 m by Lachies Ideal (1:57.10) in NR 45 to 48 on March 26 at $14. The run before 7th (Fr3) over 1609m at Tamworth was 8th-12.7 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Thomas Royal (1:57.80) in 4yo+ NR up to 55 on March 12 at $7. Well drawn and expected to bounce back.

4th (Fr3) over 1609m after showing early speed at Tamworth beaten 23 m by Jeremy Lou (1:58.30) in NR up to 34 on March 26 at $11. Before that 8th (Sr1) over 1980m at Tamworth, beaten 40 m by Ohwhatiwouldgive (2:26.10) in NR up to 55 on January 23 at $151. Others read better. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.
