Narrabri Race 4 - Namoi Hotel And Bottle Shop And Luke Mcgrath Farrier Service John And Beryl Dean Memorial Final
DANCIN WITH LUSH (11) registered another strong performance last time when she battled on bravely to just miss out over 1760m at this track. Will need an ounce of luck to slot in from this tricky draw. On top in this field. LIMOUSINE TOMMY (1) scored at the first run back from a break last start over 1760m at this track on 20/04/2025, finishing a head ahead of his rivals. Has the benefit of a good draw, and he has the ability to test this field. ULTIMATE EMPIRE (4) is in line for another win at his third run back from a break after scoring over 1760m at this track a week ago. Stick with him. MY ULTIMATE HUGO (3) was out of the money two runs ago, then broke and finished fourth last start over 1760m at this track, coming home 15 metres from the winner. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Can't make any mistakes against this field, but he is right in the mix.

Last preparation only had one start before going for a break. Returned to racing with a handy win by a head when quickly away, (Fr2) at this track (2:10.80) beating Cinnamon in 1 WIN on April 20 at $4.40 at the bell was 2nd-4m on the pegs. Strips fitter and should pay to follow.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Otis Rising at Tamworth over 1980m in a NR up to 45 on April 17 at $61. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Ultimate Empire at this track over 1760m in a 1 WIN on April 20 at $7. Rates highly. Forward performance expected.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.3 m finishing second behind I Of The Hurrikane at Maryborough over 1690m in a NR up to 49 M on March 31 at $4.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Limousine Tommy at this track over 1760m in a 1 WIN on April 20 at $1.85. Going well and is a leading player again.
