Parkes Race 2 - Wal Norman Memorial
MERRYWOOD ROSIE (4) ran fourth last start at Bathurst over 1730m, beaten 14 metres. Talented and has plenty of upside. Meets some better types this time but a win is not out of the question. LIMBO LOTTIE (3) finished runner-up at her most recent outing, beaten a head, in a nice return to form at Dubbo over 1720m. Has the benefit of a good draw. Her recent form is good enough to take out a race like this. BETTINGONYA (6) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 2000m at Blayney. GOOD CHAT (8) was thereabouts last time out at the second run back from a spell over 1720m at Dubbo. Open to plenty of improvement.

Last start was well back in the run when 4th (Fr5) over 1730m after showing early speed and racing wide at Bathurst was 6th-10.75 at the bell, beaten 3.5 m by Major Jewel (2:07.10) in MAIDEN on February 18 at $26. At the run before 9th (Fr2) over 2260m at Bathurst, beaten 13 m by Fox Trot (2:53.80) in MAIDEN on February 4 at $12. Can make amends.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Grace Shannon at Bathurst over 1730m in a 1 WIN M on January 9 at $34. Then a handy effort when a close second after a quick start, behind Summer Delight at Dubbo over 1720m in a 2 WINs on February 20 at $15. One of the main contenders.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after being driven well back, behind Jackys Hat at Blayney over 2000m in a NR up to 47 on February 15 at $14. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Summer Delight at Dubbo over 1720m in a 2 WINs on February 20 at $23. Fitter and should run well.

Resuming after six-and-a-half months off the scene. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into eighth after a quick start, behind A True Love at Bathurst over 2260m in a 3yo No NR F on August 13 at $34. A big run would not surprise.
