Horse Racing Tips and Predictions for 5/12/23 – Narromine | OKEBET

Not Too Bad, a five-year-old with a commendable track record, stands out in this matchup. Recently, the horse showcased a formidable comeback at Wellington, overcoming earlier hurdles in more challenging races. Despite carrying a top weight this time, its advantageous draw and the consistency of a leading country jockey are pivotal factors. The track’s Good 4 condition aligns well with Not Too Bad’s proven capabilities, making it a strong contender for a back-to-back victory.

Olimba enters the fray as a notable contender, especially considering the horse’s significant improvement shown in its last outing at Newcastle. Now fourth-up and well-adjusted to the weight scale, Olimba’s recent performance near the speed zone hints at a strong potential in this less competitive field. The horse’s resilience and strategic positioning make it a primary choice for punters.

In the fast-paced Maiden Plate, I’m Independent, armed with added blinkers, is peaking perfectly at her fourth start. Her recent narrow misses at Dubbo and Warren, from positions close to the lead, signal a readiness to dominate in this race. I’m Independent’s tactical speed, combined with the drop in competition quality, positions her as a frontrunner for a breakthrough victory.

Aussie Pharoah, resuming after a consistent last prep, enters as a horse of significant value. With a history of strong performances, including a smart maiden win, and preparation through two discreet trials, this four-year-old is a horse to watch. The extra furlong in this race complements Aussie Pharoah’s style, making it a top pick in a highly competitive field.
