Parkes Race 5 - Keith Ritchie Memorial
STARLIGHT SASS (7) has been excellent of late and she made it two in a row when successful at her latest appearance over 1720m at Penrith, getting home by 3 metres. Won't spend a penny from this draw but luck may play a role on the bell lap. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is up to the challenge. ROLL TO THE TOP (1) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 4.5 metres from the winner in second over 1720m at Dubbo. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Steps up a level but she is good enough to take this out. VAMOS (6) finished eighth last start at Listed level in a race won by Seasider over 2260m at Bathurst, beaten 11 metres. A return to form is on the cards. TAKE OUT (4) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at Bathurst over 1730m.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fourth behind Pirani Princess at Albury over 1770m in a NR up to 47 on February 13 at $34. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Savage Storm at Dubbo over 1720m in a NR up to 52 M on February 20 at $8. Sure to go well.

Failed to impress last start; was well back in the run when 7th (Fr6) over 2120m at Dubbo, beaten 12 m by Kadar (2:38.50) in NR up to 53 on February 20 at $26. Showed ability the outing before when he posted a big 13 m win (Sr2) at Blayney (2:31.20) beating Layla Shannon in NR up to 47 on February 15 at $6.50 at the bell was 2nd-6.4. In the mix on the form from two back.

Solid run when beaten by 2.75 m finishing fourth after showing early speed, behind Shazadele at Bathurst over 2260m in a NR 43 to 54 on February 11 at $12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Foxfire Easton at Bathurst over 1730m in a NR up to 52 on February 18 at $2.90. Forward performance expected.
