Parkes R2 COL FLETCHER FORD PACE

Race comment

Tired over the latter stages when 35m 8th $5.00 (Fr3) Gabbys Sportstar Parkes 2040m (2:01.6) R5768 race Feb 5 then eased early when 16.5m 7th $12 (Fr7) Pacman Hammer Bathurst 1730m (1:55.7) R5459 race Feb 16. Had excuses past couple and winner three back; can bounce back.

Race comment

Eased early when 26m 9th $41 (Fr6) Imperials Gem Menangle 1609m the MS-GP3 Go Girlfriend (grp3) Jan 18 then hung in during the race and checked and broke when beaten distanced 10th (Sr4) Crystal Stride Penrith 1720m (1:57.6) R5059 race Jan 30. Mixed form this prep but fitter now and can't dismiss entirely.

Solid effort when 5m 7th $2.50 (Fr1) Majoress Jujon Wagga Paceway 1740m (1:57.3) R5366 race Feb 11 then sound effort when 4.7m 3rd $7.00 (Fr4) Bustling Barney Young 1720m (1:58.9) R4355 race Feb 18. Improved effort last start and drawn suitably again; can feature here with further improvement.
