Narrabri Race 2 - Luke Mcgrath Farrier Service John And Bery Dean Prelude
CINNAMON (8) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 2.25 metres from the winner in second over 1980m at Tamworth. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw and will be looking for a split at some stage. Good enough to put herself in the winners' stall. FRANCO STYLES (7) scored at Newcastle two runs ago before having his colours lowered when third at his latest appearance over 2030m at Newcastle, beaten 15 metres. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw and will be looking for a split at some stage. Primary contender if anywhere near his best. TONYS DREAM (10) was out of the money two starts ago then things went wrong last start when she broke and finished a distant last over 1609m at Newcastle. No favours expected from this draw. Won't find this any harder and she can bounce back. TRY CATCHING ME (9) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when third at Tamworth over 1980m.

Failed to impress last start; was well back in the run when 6th (Fr5) over 1980m at Tamworth beaten 25 m by General Rocker (2:28.10) in 0-1 WIN on March 26 at $12. Showed ability the race before when he raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by a head (Sr1) at Tamworth (2:28.00) beating Galvarino in NR up to 45 on March 12 at $41 at the bell was 2nd-3.34. Can play a far greater role this time.

Last start was well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind Grace Shannon at Newcastle over 2030m in a NR up to 48 on March 28 at $9.50. Raced better the start before that where he won by 6 m when quickly away, (Fr5) at Newcastle (1:56.90) beating Roobee in MAIDEN on March 13 at $3.40. Sure to go well again.

Two back was well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Coral Cays at Tamworth over 1609m in a NR up to 52 M on March 12 at $12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind General Rocker at Tamworth over 1980m in a 0-1 WIN on March 26 at $2.60. Expected to go well again.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start was well beaten after breaking at Newcastle on March 13. The run before 5th (Fr2) over 1720m at Penrith, at the bell was 3rd-4.35 beaten 11 m by Villarock (2:02.50) in NR up to 50 on March 2 at $7.50. Can do a lot better in this suitable contest.
