Narrabri Race 3 - Western Namio Vet Services And Gordon Roadways Santos Heat 1
OTIS RISING (1) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 22 metres into eighth at Tamworth over 1609m. Steps up a level but from this better draw he is capable of running a huge race. IM BELIEBER (7) finished fourth last start over 1609m at Tamworth, beaten 10 metres, after a modest fifth at Dubbo the run prior. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw and will be looking for a split at some stage. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. ANNIE CROCKER (5) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at Tamworth last time out. ADRENALINE RUSH (6) disappointed last time when eighth over 1980m at Tamworth. Can do a lot better so worth considering.

4th (Fr3) over 1609m after showing early speed at Tamworth beaten 23 m by Jeremy Lou (1:58.30) in NR up to 34 on March 26 at $11. Before that 8th (Sr1) over 1980m at Tamworth, beaten 40 m by Ohwhatiwouldgive (2:26.10) in NR up to 55 on January 23 at $151. Others read better. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.

Second up after running 5th (Sr1) over 1609m at Tamworth was 8th-12.34 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Double Lines (1:58.60) in NR 35 to 38 on March 26 at $41. Not going well enough. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.
