Parkes Race 4 - Harness Breeders Nsw Sapphire Series
BUTTER CUP (8) has recorded two wins and three minor placings from the past five starts. Added to her reputation at her latest appearance when she got the job done by 3.5 metres over 1660m at this track. Won't spend a penny from this draw but luck may play a role on the bell lap. That latest effort is good enough to take out a race like this. JEWEL MISTRESS (9) settled in the leading division but couldn't finish the race off and could only manage sixth last start over 1730m at Bathurst, that effort coming after a minor placing at Bathurst the run before. Hard to know where she gets from this slightly awkward draw. Has the class to take this out. VIOLET JAY (7) is in the mix following a respectable second at her most recent appearance over 1660m at this track. CHILLAX (4) is the next elect off a last-start win by 3 metres at this track over 1660m.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Butter Cup at Dubbo over 1720m in a NR 40 to 43 on February 20 at $151. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after a quick start, behind Butter Cup at this track over 1660m in a NR up to 50 M on February 27 at $61. Heading the right way and is a leading player.

Well beaten last start by Butter Cup, a rival who she faces again; when 30 metres ninth at this track over 1660m in a NR up to 50 M race on February 27. Prefer others on this occasion.

Comes here second-up after a week. Lacklustre first-up performance when 8th (Sr3) over 2040m at this track beaten 55 m by Merrywood Rosie (2:33.30) in 2 WINs on February 27 at $81. Hard to make a case in this field.

Before that, a game effort when 2nd (Sr1) over 1720m at Dubbo, beaten 4.5 m by Savage Storm (2:07.00) in NR up to 52 M on February 20 at $8. Sure to be thereabouts.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Savage Storm at Dubbo over 1720m in a NR up to 52 M on February 20 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second behind Butter Cup at this track over 1660m in a NR up to 50 M on February 27 at $7. Can improve. One of the better chances.

Before that was well beaten after breaking at Penrith on February 12. Has the job ahead.
