Narrabri Race 4 - Namoi Hotel And Bottleshop And Luke Mcgrath Farrier Service John And Beryl Dean Memorial Final
MY ULTIMATE HUGO (6) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 16 metres into sixth at Tamworth over 1980m. Hard to beat this time. BETABRO (8) finished fourth last start, beaten 13 metres at Tamworth over 1609m. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. REASONABLY SWEET (2) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when third at Tamworth over 1980m. Must be included. LIMOUSINE TOMMY (4) is better than his last-start seventh over 1609m at Newcastle. Each way value.

Last start 8th (Fr4) over 1980m after being wide early at Tamworth beaten 30 m by Kintire Rush (2:29.30) in 0-1 WINs on May 29 at $41. Two runs back 6th (Sr1) over 1980m at Tamworth beaten 40 m by Riley Rocket (2:29.90) in MAIDEN on May 22 at $81. Not keen on her chances in this line-up.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Riley Rocket at Tamworth over 1980m in a MAIDEN on May 22 at $6. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Kintire Rush at Tamworth over 1980m in a 0-1 WINs on May 29 at $10. Sure to be thereabouts.

Comes here second-up after a month. Lacklustre first-up performance when 9th (Sr3) over 1980m at Tamworth, beaten 50 m by Driving Miss Molly (2:29.90) in MAIDEN on May 8 at $126. Might need another run.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr2) over 1609m at Newcastle beaten 8 m by Wat Ever You Need (1:54.60) in NR up to 47 on May 30 at $11. Showed ability the race before when he raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by a head when quickly away, (Fr2) at this track (2:10.80) beating Cinnamon in 1 WIN on April 20 at $4.40 at the bell was 2nd-4m on the pegs. Best form puts him right in this.

Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start 6th (Sr3) over 1980m after being wide early at Tamworth was 2nd-4.2 at the bell, beaten 16 m by Kintire Rush (2:29.30) in 0-1 WINs on May 29 at $2.60. The run before was well back in the run when 5th (Fr6) over 1609m after showing early speed and racing wide at Tamworth, at the bell was 6th-13.8 beaten 13 m by Bee Seventeen (1:59.60) in NR up to 57 on May 22 at $81. Certainly up to this and expected to do much better.
