Parkes Race 5 - Coachman Hotel 3yo Pace
ROCK SPIRIT (6) was responsible for a far better performance at his latest appearance when successful over 1770m at Albury, getting home by 4.5 metres after leading. Now lands in a race that is there for the taking. Tipping he takes it. WIT WICKEE (7) gave a good account at his latest appearance over 1660m at this track, beaten just 2.25 metres into fourth. He shapes as the biggest danger. Fancy that pair hold the aces. NEED SOME TIME (8) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 1660m at this track last time out while TAKE ME TOO (2) is the best of the rest after finishing sixth over 1660m at this track last time out.

Last start 3rd (Fr2) over 1660m after showing early pace at this track, beaten a head by Only One Reason (2:03.70) in 3yo on August 14 at $18. Two runs back 6th (Fr2) over 1720m after showing early speed at Dubbo was 5th-7 at the bell, beaten 5 m by Ya Racin Dash (2:10.80) in 3yo on August 7 at $8.50. Will not find this easy. Not as keen on his chances in this field.

Last start was well back in the run when 6th (Fr5) over 1660m at this track, beaten 6 m by Only One Reason (2:03.70) in 3yo on August 14 at $34. Before that, a good run despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr5) over 1720m at Dubbo, at the bell was 2nd-1.6 beaten a head by Ya Racin Dash (2:10.80) in 3yo on August 7 at $14. Will be right in the thick of things.

Fair run when beaten by 3 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Im Here To Party at Dubbo over 1720m on August 7 at $7. Then a handy effort when a close third after a quick start, behind Smooth Euro at this track over 2040m on August 14 at $8. Another big run would not surprise.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr5) over 2040m after being wide early at this track beaten 15 m by Vinnysgal (2:36.40) on August 14 at $26. Two runs back 7th (Fr4) over 1720m after showing early speed and racing wide at Dubbo, beaten 30 m by Im Here To Party (2:07.60) on August 7 at $51. This will be too tough.
