Parx Racing Race 5

6 1/2f Stakes

Prize Money: $40,639

TRANSCENDENTAL (1) finished fourth two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 4 lengths as favourite after being in the firing line on the bend over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect another big run. CARNABY (4) proved too strong two runs ago at Monmouth Park. Couldn't follow that up last time out when eighth over 1106m at Monmouth Park Turf, beaten 6 lengths. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. NANCY MADE MY DAY (2) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 4.5 lengths over 1408m at this track (Dirt). That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from four starts. Can feature again. FIGHT FIERCELY (5) turned in a fine effort to win by one length at today's track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of another big run.

Form hard to fault. Last start came from midfield and won by 4 len at this track June 23 over 1609m defeating Amedeus Music with 56.5kg at $2. The start before that 4th of 7 at this track on June 8 over 1408m, 11 len behind Nancy Made My Day carrying 56.5kg at $2. No reason he cannot salute again.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 30-day let-up. At the latest run scored a big 4.5 len win at this track June 8 over 1408m defeating Diamond Heist carrying 56.5kg at $9.60. The race before that got back early ran second last in a small field at this track on May 19 over 1308m, 6 len behind Harp's Hot Corner carrying 56.5kg at $6.70. Great chance to win again.
