Parkes Race 9 - Nella Contracting Pace
STUDLEIGH SANDY (8) ran second last start at Dubbo over 1720m, beaten 12 metres. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw and will be looking for a split at some stage. Has the class to take care of this field. LAMNA NASUS (1) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1720m at Young last time out. Should get every chance aided by the inside draw. SIR BLUE STORK (2) resumes here after closing his last prep with a tenth at Dubbo on July 3. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. LITTLE ADELAIDE (7) is worth some thought after her last-start sixth over 1730m at Bathurst.

Last start 5th (Sr1) over 1720m at Young, at the bell was 5th-8.6 beaten 16 m by Staysea (2:10.10) in 3yo on October 27 at $101. At the start before 8th (Fr2) over 1740m at West Wyalong beaten 40 m by Handle Bars Down (2:07.10) on October 18 at $12. Draws the inside so worth another chance.

Returns from the paddock. At the latest first-up run 10th (Sr3) over 1660m at this track well beaten by Just Keep Chiming (2:04.30) in 3yo on May 15 at $41. Has only trialled once and might be short on fitness.
