Parkes Race 5 - Coachman Hotel Pace
JOHNNYS BLUE (1) had a tough draw at his latest appearance but had been racing consistently with a string of top-four results prior. Should enjoy an economical run from this draw so can show his best. KARINYA HAZ (9) was solid when fourth last start at Bathurst after a good win at Cowra the run prior. Hard to know where he gets to from this slightly awkward draw but he goes well at this distance and has the ability to return to the winners' list. INDI AIR TONIGHT (7) didn't do a bad job from wider on this row last time out. Draws for a trail and proven here. Could be dangerous. BEANCOUNTER (5) is another that has won here before. His best form measures right up in this line-up.

Last start was well beaten into eighth behind Mondo Glitz at Eugowra over 2100m on September 27 at $11. Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 2nd (Sr2) over 2160m at Cowra was 7th-9.1 at the bell, beaten 19 m by Karinya Haz (2:40.50) on September 20 at $9. Has the inside so has winning claims.
