Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 17 Journalists Share Posted May 17 What Parkes Cup Day Where Parkes Jockey Club – 7126 Eugowra Rd, Parkes NSW 2870 When Sunday, May 19, 2024 First Race 12:05pm AEST Visit Dabble Country racing heads to the Central West region of NSW on Sunday afternoon for Parkes Cup Day (1600m). The rail is in the true position for the entire circuit, and with nothing but sunny skies predicted in the lead-up, participants should be racing on a pristine Good 4 surface. The first of eight races at Parkes is set to get underway at 12:05pm local time. Parkes Cup Tip: Toretto Toretto has steadily improved with every outing this preparation and appears ready to find his best fourth-up. The son of Press Statement was rattling home in his most recent start at Canberra on April 19, peaking on the run due to the unsuitable Soft surface. Getting back on top of the ground should be ideal for the six-year-old, and with gate one allowing Nick Heywood to hold a stalking position throughout, watch for Toretto launching late to claim the Parkes Cup. Best Bet Race 7 – #5 Toretto (1) 6yo Gelding | T: Matthew Dale | J: Nick Heywood (58kg) +270 with Bet365 Best Bet at Parkes: Cruizingdafield Cruizingdafield got a pass mark when returning at Wagga on May 3, fading out of the contest due to a lack of fitness after a 653-day spell. She was attempting to make every post a winner, and despite the lengthy layoff, the daughter of Deep Field never shirked the task. She’ll strip fitter second-up, and the Class 2 placement looks ideal, so expect Cruizingdafield to give a bold sight in the Parkes finale. Next Best Race 8 – #13 Cruizingdafield (12) 4yo Mare | T: Scott Collings | J: Matthew Cahill (55kg) +200 with Neds Best Value at Parkes: I’m Independent I’m Independent was no match for I’m Brazilian at Wellington on May 7, but the filly by Outreach powered home into a clear runner-up. The 900m proved too sharp after missing the start, with the three-year-old doing her best work once it was all over. The step up in trip should be a positive, and with a genuine tempo expected in this maiden contest, watch for I’m Independent to storm over the top in the opener.
