Parkes Race 1 - Betta Parkes Pace

GABBYS SPORTSTAR (7) turned in a much better effort last start when runner-up at Bathurst, chasing along the sprint lane to be beaten 3.7 metres after racing handy. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw and if he gets the gaps could be hard to stop. WESTERN BILL (3) did a good job to come from the back line for third last start at this venue, beaten 3.4 metres. Capable of playing a major role from this more favourable draw. THE HANDSOME ONE (5) won well from a similar draw to this two back at Bathurst before coming from the back line to be beaten just over 5m in a similar grade to this here last time. WHATABOUTBRONSON (8) draws on the back line but must be respected having won the last two times he raced here including a 5.5m success last week.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Sr3) over 1660m at this track, at the bell was 8th-16.2 beaten 5 m by Beancounter (2:01.80) in NR up to 48 on December 31 at $23. Showed ability the outing before when he ran on from midfield and posted a big 12 m win as favourite (Fr6) at Bathurst (2:07.30) beating Mittys Three Aces in NR up to 37 on December 17 at $2 at the bell was leading 2.31. Among the better chances.

Two back was well beaten into ninth after being driven well back, behind Hudson River at Dubbo over 1720m in a NR 43 to 44 on November 21 at $34. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Tearin Up The Sand at Bathurst over 1730m in a NR 43 to 46 on December 17 at $26. A repeat of the latest performance would see him hard to stop.
