Narrabri Race 7 - Daisy Water Carrier Peter And Raymond Shepherdson Memorial
TOPSIES BLING (1) went back last start then worked home in good style to finish 4.5 metres from the winner in second at Tamworth over 1980m, that effort following a good win at Tamworth the run prior. Has the benefit of a good draw. Facing a tougher assignment but she is capable of running a big race. FAR OUT RINGO (3) ran fourth last start at Tamworth over 1609m, beaten 5 metres. Has ability and should be right in the finish. AMILLION PROMISES (4) is the next elect off a last-start win by 2.25 metres at Tamworth over 1609m. ARNIES ARMY NZ (8) cannot be left out after registering a sequence of three top-three finishes, the latest at Tamworth a week-and-a-half ago.

Resumes. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into ninth behind Yukon Be Serious at Dubbo over 2120m in a NR up to 60 on December 26 at $11. Previous preparation first-up won by 2.5 m after showing early speed, (Fr1) at Dubbo (2:03.10) beating Borrowed Time in NR up to 55 on December 12 at $3.20. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Solid top-three prospects.

10-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. Raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by 4.5 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr2) at Tamworth (2:26.80) beating Topsies Bling in NR up to 53 on March 26 at $2.30 at the bell was 2nd-2.43. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into seventh behind Heza Doozie at Tamworth over 1980m in a NR up to 75 on March 12 at $81. Prefer to watch at this level.

Solid performance when a close second behind Heza Doozie at Tamworth over 1980m in a NR up to 75 on March 12 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Jayjaybenny at Tamworth over 1609m in a NR up to 70 on March 26 at $26. Form sound and expected to measure up.
