Forbes Race 5 - Lachlan Ready Mix Clarrie, Val And Peter Robb Memorial
FOX TROT (4) scored a decisive win last time out over 2040m at Parkes, getting home by 10 metres in an impressive display. No excuses from this advantageous draw. His last-start form is good enough to put him right in the finish. SMOOTH CHAKRA (9) has been most impressive of late and she made it two in a row when successful at her latest appearance over 2040m at Parkes, getting home by 6 metres. No favours expected from this draw. Good enough to take out a race like this. RIP ROCK (6) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 2040m at Parkes. BILLS SWAN SONG (10) is also in contention although the draw makes his job a bit tougher.

Fair performance when beaten by 5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Studleigh Sunrise at Parkes over 1660m in a NR up to 52 on April 17 at $19. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Smooth Chakra at Parkes over 2040m in a 2 WINs on April 24 at $4.60. Solid claims.
