Narrabri Race 2 - Richards Steelyard Metaland And C L Dicinson Heat One

ULTIMATE EMPIRE (6) made a nice return at his latest appearance two-and-a-half weeks ago, finishing 3.5 metres away in third over 1980m at Tamworth. Big chance in a similar assignment. ELLIE RIPPIN (2) drew wide last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 35 metres into seventh at Tamworth over 1980m. From this far better draw can take this out. BETABRO (5) could only finish sixth over 2120m at Dubbo most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix. Something for the Multiples: THE AFRICAN QUEEN (7)
