10-10 Parkes 21Aug26 1660MS $6,940 NR up to 38 Fr2 Jett Turnbull $7, btn 23.6m, wnr Gabbys Sportstar 0, 2:02.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Shortly after rounding the final turn was placed into restricted room as a result of Brooklyn Bandit hanging in under pressure.

Resumed after a 596-day break 10th (Fr2) over 1660m after showing early pace at Parkes, beaten 23 m by Gabbys Sportstar (2:06.80) on August 21 at $7. Will come on from that run and is a strong top-three hope.

3-9 Dubbo 07Aug26 1720MS $6,940 NR up to 38 Sr2 Nathan Hurst $9, btn 4.6m, wnr Mohawk Park 0, 2:01.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Checked approaching the 1300m as a result of Scarlet Bling breaking stride.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4.5 m third behind Mohawk Park at Dubbo over 1720m last start. Before that was beaten 1.2 metres second at Parkes over 1660m same class on July 31. Great chance this time.

7-10 Parkes 21Aug26 1660MS $6,940 NR up to 38 Fr3 Blake Medlyn $12, btn 18.8m, wnr Gabbys Sportstar 0, 2:02.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Didn't do much last start, 7th (Fr3) over 1660m at Parkes, at the bell was 6th-7 beaten 18 m by Gabbys Sportstar (2:06.80) on August 21 at $12. Before that 4th (Fr3) over 1660m after showing early speed at Parkes was 7th-11.4 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Scarlet Bling (2:03.50) on August 14 at $11. Will need some luck to figure.

6-10 Parkes 21Aug26 1660MS $6,940 NR up to 38 Sr3 Mark Hewitt $21, btn 16.9m, wnr Gabbys Sportstar 0, 2:02.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Shifted down the track when not sufficiently clear of Roobee causing that runner to be tightened and contact marker pegs.

Didn't do much at the last run, 6th (Sr3) over 1660m at Parkes, at the bell was 9th-10.8 beaten 16 m by Gabbys Sportstar (2:06.80) on August 21 at $21. Before that 6th (Fr4) over 1660m after showing early speed and racing wide at Parkes, at the bell was 5th-7.4 beaten 17 m by Scarlet Bling (2:03.50) on August 14 at $8. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

2-10 Penrith 20Aug26 2125MS $6,940 NR up to 48 Fr1 Cooper Griffiths $34, btn 7.6m, wnr Allornothinglevi 0, 1:58.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Mixing form recently. Last start was 2nd (Fr1) over 2125m after showing early pace at Penrith beaten 7 m by Allornothinglevi (2:36.20) on August 20 at $34. Before that beaten 140 metres, ninth at Parkes over 1660m on August 14. This looks a far sterner test.

7-9 Parkes 21Aug26 1660MS $6,940 NR up to 41 Fr4 David McKenzie $91, btn 4.7m, wnr Bodeletos 0, 2:01.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Held up for clear running in the home straight and not fully tested.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr4) over 1660m after being wide early at Parkes, at the bell was 9th-12.4 beaten 4.5 m by Bodeletos (2:05.30) on August 21 at $91. Two runs back 6th (Fr1) over 1720m at Young, at the bell was 3rd-4 beaten 6 m by Tulhurst Pebbles (2:08.80) on August 18 at $51. Must do a lot more.

6-9 Parkes 21Aug26 1660MS $6,940 NR up to 41 Fr2 Phoebe Betts $3, btn 3m, wnr Bodeletos 0, 2:01.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 6th (Fr2) over 1660m after showing early speed at Parkes, at the bell was 3rd-3.6 beaten 3 m by Bodeletos (2:05.30) on August 21 at $3. At the previous start was well back in the run when 10th (Fr6) over 1660m at Parkes, at the bell was 10th-21.2 beaten 12 m by Altiano (2:05.30) on August 14 at $31. Worth another chance. Capable of a lot more.

4-10 Parkes 21Aug26 1660MS $6,940 NR up to 38 Sr4 Jake Davis $12, btn 14.5m, wnr Gabbys Sportstar 0, 2:02.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Rounding the final turn hung in under pressure placing Watch And Weep into restricted room.

Last start 4th (Sr4) over 1660m at Parkes was 3rd-2.4 at the bell, beaten 14 m by Gabbys Sportstar (2:06.80) on August 21 at $12.

2-9 Parkes 21Aug26 1660MS $6,940 NR up to 41 Sr4 Graham Betts $10, btn 0.3m, wnr Bodeletos 0, 2:01.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Improved last start with a solid effort when 2nd (Sr4) over 1660m at Parkes, at the bell was 5th-6.6 beaten a neck by Bodeletos (2:05.30) on August 21 at $10. Will make his presence felt.

3-9 Parkes 21Aug26 1660MS $6,940 NR up to 41 Fr1 Blake Medlyn $3, btn 0.3m, wnr Bodeletos 0, 2:01.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)
