Matt Young’s Saturday Narrogin Preview Posted on November 12, 2026November 12, 2026 | Posted by Matt Young Race 1 Open race. CODENAME ELLIOT (4) has been lurking around the money and looks a strong chance in this, just needs a touch of racing luck and will be hard to hold out. KOLISI (10) is one of the few in the event who can be put into the race and expect him to be prominent in the run. VINTAGE BLU (8) is racing well and must be considered but follows out a moderate beginner. HIGHLY FLAMMABLE (9) is racing well but has required luck to get into the victories and will need some of that again. BUNDEGI BLUE (3) could improve here and use the speed to put him in a handy spot. AMERICAN MONARCH (5) faces a tricky draw and will look to get back and run on with APOLOGIZE (6) who races in a similar manner. HUGHEY (7) will be running on but could be shuffled back. Tips: 4 10 8 9 Suggested Bet: CODENAME ELLIOT (4) each way. Race 2 (Best Bet) SHESA ENCHANTRESS (5) has good early speed and will be looking to burn across and lead, she is racing well and this grade is suitable, strong chance. FIVE STAR KEVIN (2) is racing better than numerical form suggests, draw shows that he will be close enough in the run and go well. CHARLI BROWN (8) will follow through from the back line and can sustain the runs when required, respect. GINNIVAN (10) will run on but faces some traffic in the run and he can always be a mixed bag with his manners. ROCKNROLL JEWEL (1) is a novelty chance from the draw with other chances to HEAD OFFICE (7) by virtue of the draw. Tips: 5 2 8 1 Suggested Bet: SHESA ENCHANTRESS (5) to win. Race 3 ICE COLD SAPPORO (1) gets a draw and will be doing his best to hold up, can be a bit hit and miss with early speed but if he can hold up then he should get the job done, start is the key to his race. MY HAMMER DOWN (2) has been flying in recent runs, disappointing last run when he over raced but prior to that he was ready to win, expecting him to be dangerous. CHARIVARI (7) drawn to get a soft run and be dangerous if the gaps present. JIMMY ROCKS (4) will be heading forward and likely be in the breeze and has performed well from there before. TRAVELBAN (8) is racing nicely and will be running on. Tips: 1 2 7 4 Suggested Bet: ICE COLD SAPPORO (1) to win. Race 4 ROMAN GUARD (5) comes into this well and has good early speed, will be looking for the top and looks a strong chance in this grade. SHOOBETCHA (9) is a nice type but can be a bit hit and miss with his form, will be better suited here on a bigger track than his recent run. GLOBAL ARK (2) has a nice draw and looks to lead early, return run was solid. ROCKSTAR WORLD (8) will be running on with HIGHVIEW ROZI (6) who is about the place in terms of form. MAXMEMATE (4) is capable of better than his last effort and WHERES MY HALO (7) going well but it’s a tricky map following out a slow beginner. Tips: 5 9 2 8 Suggested Bet: ROMAN GUARD (5) to win. Race 5 SANFORD BART (2) is crying out to break through and will be looking for the top in this race, he is knocking on the door and will be hard to beat again. DEKLA DIVA (5) is in career best form after winning her last 3 starts, will have to do it from the breeze by the looks of things here. CIAO BABE (1) better suited from the draw and should settle close enough to earn. TAYLORS BOY FRED (7) will follow the rail and be a novelty chance. MY ULTIMATE KEVVIE (10) was eye catching last run and will be getting home well with LIQUIDATOR (9) who I do prefer on speed, but she is racing consistently. Tips: 2 10 1 9 Suggested Bet: SANFORD BART (2) to win. Race 6 BETTOR CLASS (6) is in top form and looks hard to beat in this, small field suits and there is a few ways he can go about victory. MISTER PICCOLO (8) must be respected on return, this class suits him and even though he may need the run I am expecting him to go well. JAMIE KIM (1) will want to hold a forward position and try and return to form which is going to hinder ICY COLD (2) who will have the same idea. ADMIRAL DARCY (3) is racing soundly and is a chance to be considered with IM ROCKIN ROD (7) and BEYOND BLING (5) who will be running home well. Tips: 6 8 1 5 Suggested Bet: BETTOR CLASS (6) to win. Race 7 IM SPUD (1) gets the good draw and is knocking on the door loudly, needs to keep his head on early which is of slight concern as he can throw in some tricks. ALTACHAERA (3) had a few things go wrong by no fault of hers on Monday, she has good early speed and could bounce on the lead and run a big race. LOWLANDS BEACH BOY (2) is racing well, did plenty of work last start and stuck on well, respect in this. MONTERIO (8) is drawn to get a soft run through but is a hard horse to catch. YANKEEDELIGHT (9) is a novelty chance. Tips: 3 1 2 8 Suggested Bet: ALTACHAERA (3) each way. Race 8 SOME LINE (10) is racing well and has been chasing some good horse flesh in recent runs, this is a deep race, and he’ll need to be at his best, but I like how he is going and think he will be hard to beat. STRONG THE STRIKER (3) is knocking on the door and has some good early speed; he will be looking to lead and will give them something to chase. WAY OF THE WORLD (4) could bounce off the first up effort and be a threat in this. INTHEHEARTOFTEXAS (2) has ability and must be respected as he can bounce on the lead early if on his best behaviour. BETTER TOGETHER (5) is a consistent performer and will run well but needs some luck. EL EDWIN (8) has ability and should be kept safe on return. Tips: 10 3 4 2 Suggested Bet: SOME LINE (10) to win. Race 9 CRUNCHYLOVER (1) was a good effort in the return run and has the good draw, early speed is a query but think the ability can supersede that, and she can win when any luck. REINE DU SOLEIL (7) is one of the big dangers in the race and has drawn directly to her back therefore she will need some luck also. ELQUESTRO (6) has good ability and will be in the mix, on his best behaviour he has good early speed. THE BELL HUEY (5) is lurking behind them recently and is ready to run a big race. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT (9) is a novelty chance as he rises back up in grade. Tips: 1 7 6 5 Suggested Bet: CRUNCHYLOVER (1) to win.
