Narrabri Race 2

Richards Steelyard Metaland And C L Dicinson Heat One

Stake: $7,630

ULTIMATE EMPIRE (6) made a nice return at his latest appearance two-and-a-half weeks ago, finishing 3.5 metres away in third over 1980m at Tamworth. Big chance in a similar assignment. ELLIE RIPPIN (2) drew wide last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 35 metres into seventh at Tamworth over 1980m. From this far better draw can take this out. MAKE MINE MERICAN (8) disappointed last time when ninth over 1980m at Tamworth. Can turn things around in this modest field. BETABRO (5) could only finish sixth over 2120m at Dubbo most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.
