Parkes R5 MEDLYNS/CASTROL PACE

Race comment

Out of position at the start and covered extra ground when 25m 4th $8.00 (Sr1) Bongiorno Boys Tamworth 1980m (2:01.5) R4047 race Mar 5 then broke during running when 56m 9th $7.50 (Sr1) The Grogfather Dubbo 1720m (1:59.9) R3647 race Jun 14. Broke in running last start when resuming and fitter now; could improve sharply with a cleaner run.

Raced wide early when 3m 2nd $34 (Fr5) Getaloadathisbro Parkes 1660m (2:02.2) R4047 race Jun 7 then raced wide early when 22m 6th $26 (Fr4) The Grogfather Dubbo 1720m (1:59.9) R3647 race Jun 14. Mixed form this prep and does not win out of turn.

Eased early when 13m 8th $41 (Fr8) Lucky Cruz Bathurst 1730m (1:59.3) R3747 race May 27 then raced wide late and raced roughly when 3.2m 2nd $4.80 (Sr2) Pom Pay Parkes 1660m (1:58.6) R3547 race Jun 7. Usually thereabouts and has each way claims.

Finished 7.7m 4th $41 (Sr1) Negative Nancy Young 2100m (2:03.4) R3446 race Mar 17 then tired over the latter stages when 66m 9th $81 (Fr4) Abercrombie Tab Bathurst 2260m (2:00.4) R4354 race May 17. Hard to be positive here.

Finished 14.7m 9th $41 (Fr1) Ellen Shannon Bathurst 1730m (2:01.2) R3754 race May 22 then handy win $5.00 (Fr1) over Coffee Bay 1.5m Dubbo 1720m (2:02.5) R3645 race Jun 14. Drawn to get a nice run and definite winning chance here on latest effort.

Race comment

First start since spell. Eased early when 16.5m 7th $26 (Fr6) Arty Pharty NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:58.5) R3945 race Feb 16 then hung out when beaten 12.5m 6th $31 (Sr4) Arma Augustus NZ Parkes 1660m (2:00.6) R3943 race Feb 23. Only 2 wins from 45 starts and minor place preferred.
