Parkes Race 7 - Kennards Hire Pace
The recent form of STAY STRONG (8) may not leap off the page but he has been tackling stronger opposition than this, highlighted by a second at Newcastle. Draws on the back line but this looks winnable with even luck. THE KING OFTHEROAD (10) hasn't raced since December when he clocked in third at Young but was readied with a trial placing. Draws out a little on the second line but his best efforts are good enough to put him in the finish. ROCKAMARA (2) broke last start but did a good job for second from this barrier at this circuit and distance two runs ago. CHASIN YOU (1) has been producing some solid efforts from wider or second line barriers so can be competitive from the ace draw.
