Narrabri Race 6

Mcdonalds Fashions Narrabri Cup

Prize Money: $11,832

ARNIES ARMY NZ (7) has been a model of consistency of late and deserved his victory last time out, scoring by 3.5 metres over 2160m at this track. Won't spend a penny from this draw but luck may play a role on the bell lap. Meets some better types this time but another win is on the cards. JAYJAYBENNY (6) scored last start by 4 metres in a nice return to form at Tamworth over 1609m. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of running another big race. LAST TIME JOE (4) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 2160m at this track. Should run a big race. ESCALERA NZ (8) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 2160m at this track last time out.

Improved last start with a game effort when 2nd (Sr3) over 2160m at this track beaten 3.5 m by Arnies Army (2:39.10) in NR up to 70 on April 5 at $8.50. Sure to be there at the business end.

Last start by 4 m after showing early speed, (Fr4) at Tamworth (1:55.80) beating Heza Doozie in NR up to 70 on March 26 at $11 at the bell was leading 2.64. Big chance of back-to-back wins.

Last start solid effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr5) over 2160m at this track beaten 14 m by Arnies Army (2:39.10) in NR up to 70 on April 5 at $34. Two runs back tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 4.5 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr2) at Tamworth (2:26.80) beating Topsies Bling in NR up to 53 on March 26 at $2.30 at the bell was 2nd-2.43. Decent effort last start. Can play a role in the finish.
