Narrabri Race 1 - Max Orman 3D Paints And Gordon Roadways Pace
IAMNOPET (5) resumes from a spell of six months after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at his last appearance over 1980m at Tamworth. Sure to prove hard to beat on his return. FROZEN JEWEL (1) ran sixth last start at Tamworth over 1980m, beaten 30 metres. Expected to run well from the perfect inside draw. TOUGH TALKS (2) will be suited to this company and is worth another chance after a last-start ninth over 1609m at Newcastle nine days ago. SAFE JEWELS (9) is worth some thought despite her last-start ninth over 1980m at Tamworth on April 17. Include in all combinations.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start 6th (Fr1) over 1980m after showing early speed at Tamworth, at the bell was leading 0.8m on the pegs beaten 30 m by Longnwindingroad (2:26.00) in NR up to 47 on March 27 at $2.80. The run before was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr6) over 1609m at Tamworth, at the bell was 7th-12.7m on the pegs beaten 9 m by Lookat Mee (1:58.00) in NR 37 to 41 on March 20 at $7.50. Draws the pegs so expect a better effort.

Last start was well beaten into ninth after a quick start, behind Johnny Dee at Newcastle over 1609m in a NR up to 47 on April 11 at $12. Performed better the start before with a good run when 2nd (Fr4) over 1609m after showing early speed at Newcastle, at the bell was 3rd- beaten 7 m by Double Said (1:54.00) in NR up to 43 on April 7 at $7.50. Well drawn and expected to bounce back.
