Parkes Race 4 - Kennards Parkes Palmer Heat 2
CALM FRANCO (1) ran fourth last start at this track over 2040m, beaten 30 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. GABBYS SPORTSTAR (9) had been racing in great heart then added to the list last start when he finished second over 1660m at this track, beaten 2.25 metres to make it three minor placings from his past four starts. No favours expected from this draw. Won't find this any harder and he can go right on with the job. WHATABOUTBRONSON (7) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1660m at this track. JESSEJAMES SHANNON (8) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when fifth at Canberra over 1770m.
