Parkes Race 5 - Deans Hydraulics Waratah Heat
RONZEL SONNY (2) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 6 metres from the winner in fifth over 1609m at Menangle. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. This should be an easier assignment so he is sure to prove tough to beat. SINBAD SASSY (5) resumes from a spell of six months after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid second over 1740m at Riverina Paceway. Sure to be right there at the finish. LIMOUSINE TOMMY (8) is looking to improve on his last-start tenth behind Sweet On Lexy at Listed level over 2100m at Eugowra nine months ago. Quality performer who is nicely placed to return in style. SHES GOT A REASON (1) is the best of the rest after finishing third when resuming over 1740m at Riverina Paceway last time out. Include from the coveted pegs draw.

Last start came from midfield and won by 2.5 m (Sr1) at Dubbo (2:09.10) beating Tactical Illusion in on June 12 at $6.50 at the bell was 5th-5.9. Strips fitter third-up and can repeat the dose.

Failed to impress last start; 10th (Sr3) over 2120m at Dubbo, beaten 60 m by Drive To The Beach (2:34.80) on June 12 at $41. Showed ability the run before when he ran on from midfield and won by 2.5 m (Sr1) at Dubbo (2:36.20) beating Butter Cup in on May 22 at $5.50 at the bell was 3rd-4.6. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Can do much better.
