Narrabri Race 6 - J And H Windscreens And C G J Aluminium And Glass Heat Three
CHEDDAR VALLEY (8) finished seventh at Newcastle two runs ago before a comparable effort at his latest appearance over 1609m at Newcastle, beaten 7 metres. Won't spend a penny from this draw, but luck may play a role on the bell lap. Tackles a similar assignment, and he can finish a lot closer this time. ANNIE CROCKER (9) can secure a cosy run early on and must be considered after she finished runner-up over 1609m at Tamworth three days ago. LOOKAT MEE (2) should not have any excuses from the favourable draw, so include in all combinations. Something for the Multiples: CHEDDAR VALLEY NZ (8) GOTONEBETTOR (5)

Didn't do much last time out, 6th (Sr4) over 1609m at Tamworth beaten 11 m by Rip Jackson (1:57.80) in NR 46 to 47 on April 3 at $34. Before that 9th (Fr3) over 1980m after showing early speed and racing wide at Tamworth beaten 55 m by Uncle Gregory (2:26.10) in NR up to 48 on February 13 at $19. Would prefer to see a return to form before recommending.

Last start 10th (Fr5) over 1609m after showing early speed at Newcastle beaten 13 m by Next To Me (1:54.50) in NR up to 52 on April 11 at $10. Before that, 7th (Fr8) over 2030m at Newcastle beaten 20 m by Slingshot (2:28.40) in NR up to 47 on April 4 at $6.50. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Deserves another chance.

Nine-year-old gelding showed improvement last time and is backing up after three days. 2nd (Fr4) over 1609m after showing early pace at Tamworth was 2nd-0.2m 2WNC at the bell, beaten a nose by Classic Arc (1:57.90) in NR up to 50 on April 17 at $11. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into ninth behind Fast Tracker at Tamworth over 1980m in a NR up to 53 on April 3 at $31. This looks a far sterner task.

Last start 5th (Fr5) over 1980m after racing wide at Tamworth was 2nd-0.4m 2WNC at the bell, beaten 17 m by Double It Harry (2:26.80) in NR up to 55 on April 17 at $34. Before that, 5th (Fr6) over 1980m after being wide early at Tamworth, beaten 14 m by Fast Tracker (2:25.70) in NR up to 53 on April 3 at $34. Better than the last couple of runs suggest.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 5th (Fr4) over 1609m at Newcastle, at the bell was leading beaten 7 m by Dance With Carmer (1:55.60) in NR up to 58 on April 7 at $4.80. The run before 7th (Sr1) over 1609m at Newcastle, beaten 14 m by Luke John (1:53.20) in NR up to 57 on April 4 at $26. Doesn't need to improve a great deal to take this out.
