Narrabri Race 3 - C L Dickinson Auto Electrics And Cotton Grower Service Pace
LACHIES IDEAL (5) has been hard to fault of late and he made it two in a row when successful at his latest appearance over 1609m at Tamworth, getting home by 2 metres. Meets a comparable field and he can add to his recent outstanding results. WHISKEY ROYALE (8) finished second last start over 1760m at this track, beaten 2.25 metres, after scoring at the previous appearance over 1609m at Tamworth. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run but might need things to go his way at some stage. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. GOTONEBETTOR (2) is the next elect off a last-start win by 2.25 metres at this track over 1760m. BARLOR HEAVEN (3) gets every chance from a favourable draw and is worth a second look.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Double Lines at Tamworth over 1609m in a NR 35 to 38 on March 26 at $4. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing second behind Bellrivergirl at this track over 1760m in a NR up to 35 on April 5 at $7.50. Heading the right way now.
