Parkes Race 8 - Coachman Hotel 3yo Pace
TALK TO LEXY (3) has been racing well of late. Kicked off the campaign with back-to-back placings then finished fourth at his latest appearance at Wagga, beaten 3 metres. Should enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position and will be at his peak now. Finds a suitable race and can take this out. BOPPER (8) is back from a break of five months and looks to be right up to the mark following two trials, winning the latest. Put together a string of seconds last time in. Threat if he gets the gaps. CALM LEGEND (1) last appeared when fifth here three months ago. Trialled well and gets the ace draw so look out for any positive market movement. SEND IT SAM (6) draws on the front row for the first time so far this campaign and was good when a close second two back before a solid effort in stronger company last time.

Returns after three months in the paddock. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into fifth after a quick start, behind Mrs Mahoney at this track over 1660m in a 3yo on August 14 at $4.33. Gets the ace draw so look for a good return.

Improved last start with a solid effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr6) over 1770m at Canberra was 4th-6.3 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Dark Miracle (2:09.90) in 3yo on November 1 at $31. Decent effort last start. Can go well again.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3 m fourth behind Pier Pressure at Riverina Paceway over 1740m 3yo last start. Before that was beaten a head second at Young over 1720m same class on October 27. Race fit now and may prove hard to beat.
