Parkes Race 4 - C & S Stockfeeds Pace
ALWAYS LIGHTNING (2) has been tackling stronger opposition at Bathurst and there was plenty to like about the latest performance when he came from a couple of spots wider and finished third, beaten 5 metres. This suits and he should get his chance from the low draw. THEYCALLMEBRUCE (1) missed narrowly first up at Bathurst then gave a good account at his latest appearance at Young, beaten just 2.4 metres into fourth after racing parked. Should enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position and will be close to peak fitness now. THE HUSTLER NZ (3) draws well and should be at his peak for this after placing in two of three starts this time in, the latest appearance here a week ago. MULLUM AXEL (6) should relish the return to a venue where he has recorded a win and a placing in two visits.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2.5 m fourth behind Maryville Alfie at Young over 1720m NR up to 52 last start. Before that was beaten a head second at Bathurst over 1730m in 1 WIN on December 17. Race fit now and should get his chance from the ace draw.

Improved last start with a solid effort when 3rd (Fr4) over 1730m at Bathurst, beaten 5 m by Whitbys Delight (2:04.20) in NR up to 52 on December 26 at $19. The low draw could see him hard to beat.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing seventh after being driven well back, behind Tairlaw Toll at this track over 1660m in a NR up to 55 on December 19 at $41. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Indasky at this track over 2040m in a NR up to 55 on December 31 at $26. Looks close to a win and draws well.

Didn't do much at the last run, was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr6) over 2040m at this track, at the bell was 6th-18.8 beaten 17 m by Man Mountain (2:31.00) in NR up to 55 on December 31 at $41. Before that was well back in the run when 7th (Fr8) over 1730m at Bathurst, beaten 13 m by Scruffy (2:05.80) in NR up to 52 on December 26 at $51. Unlikely to threaten.
