NUM TIME COMMENT
1 12:11 ROSEMARY & ROBERT LEE MEMORIAL 1680m
 OUR DANCE MONKEY (8) comes here following a eighth behind Ivseenheavenslight at Listed level two weeks ago over 2240m at Melton. Class act who will be hard to beat in easier company. TERRAGONG SWINGER (1) produced another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to finish second over 1760m at Coolamon. Has the benefit of a good draw. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. LUCKY IN AMERICA (10) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by a nose at Parkes over 1660m. ULTIMATE COOKIE (3) is next best and gets every chance from a favourable draw.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
2 12:49 TAB VENUE MODE PACE 1680m
 IM LORD TOMMY (9) scored at his last run just a couple of days ago over 2260m at Bathurst, getting home by 5 metres. Not drawn to best so may need a 10/10 drive. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. UNCLE SPORTY (10) went back last start and couldn't get into the race when 18 metres from the winner in eighth at Bathurst over 1730m. Has failed to fire since he was in the placings at Bathurst on March 12. Will need an ounce of luck to slot in from this tricky draw. Primary contender if he is at his best. YARRAMAN JOLT (8) must be considered after he finished third over 1660m at Parkes six days ago. TULHURST TOOT TOOT (7) is in the mix if she can recapture the form from two starts back that saw her score over 1660m at Parkes.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
3 01:24 NEVILLE & DOREEN PELLOW MEMORIAL 1680m
 MISS PIPPA (1) resumes after finishing sixth at her latest appearance at Young on February 11. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Stepping up a level this time but she is capable of playing a significant role. OUR SAILOR (7) finished fifth last start, beaten 10 metres at Dubbo over 1720m after being inconvenienced in the run. Expected to run well. DUSTY MUSTER (4) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished second at Parkes over 1660m. LENNOX BROMAC (10) has been readied with a series of trials. Go well.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
4 02:01 HELLOWORLD TRAVEL FORBES AND FORBES LIVESTOCK & AGENCY CO PUD WOODS MEMORIAL 1680m
 THE MISSING SOCK (1) filled a minor placing at Parkes two runs ago before finishing ninth at her latest appearance over 1730m at Bathurst, beaten 30 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a comparable field and she can give this a mighty shake. WESTERN BILL (8) has been close to the mark of late and again performed admirably last start, making up plenty of ground but finding one better over 1760m at Coolamon. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run but might need things to go his way at some stage. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. GIRLS VIEW (3) must be considered after she finished third over 1770m at Canberra two-and-a-half weeks ago. TYABB WONDER (6) is the next elect off a last-start win by 1.75 metres at Temora over 1635m.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
5 02:36 WIN TV CLARRIE, VAL & PETER ROBB MEMORIAL 1680m
 UNCLE CRAIGO (4) has been racing well of late. Finished fourth at his latest appearance over 1730m at Bathurst, beaten 9 metres, will be hoping to settle a touch closer to the speed. Good enough to take out a race like this. FLASH AZARAT (8) is better placed after his last-start sixth in stronger company over 1730m at Bathurst nine days ago. This looks a winnable assignment. SHES SOME LEXY (5) turned in a much better run when second up last start, finishing third over 1660m at Parkes. Stepping up a level this time but she is good enough to take this out. RUSTY DANCER (6) disappointed last time when eighth over 1660m at Parkes. Can do a lot better so worth considering.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
6 03:09 DWYER CONTRACTING PACE 1680m
 SHEZ A WARRIOR (4) ran ninth last start at Riverina Paceway over 2270m in good company. She is good enough to take this out. WARRAWEE FLYER (8) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound fifth at Parkes to follow a string of top-four finishes. This is winnable. THE RINGMASTER (5) won at Young two runs ago before having his colours lowered at his latest appearance over 1720m at Dubbo, beaten 14 metres. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. BULLI BELLE (9) was readied with a trial win. Go well fresh.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
7 03:46 THE PALMER FINAL 2060m
 STAY FOOLISH (8) made a nice return at his latest appearance six days ago, finishing 3.5 metres away in second over 2040m at Parkes. Gets a soft run on the inside of the second line but may need luck at some point. Taking on a better line-up this time but he good enough to play a major role. OLIVIA SHANNON (7) produced a better effort last start when she scored by 3.5 metres over 2040m at Parkes. Won't spend a penny from this draw but luck may play a role on the bell lap. Stepping up a level this time but she is capable of making it two on end. POTTER (10) is next in line and although he has to contend with an awkward gate a win is not out of the question. MCLEAN (9) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound third at Parkes over 2040m.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
8 04:16 FORBES RSL SUB BRANCH LES FINDLEY MEMORIAL 2060m
 KARLOO CANDICE (1) was disappointing last start when eighth over 1720m at Dubbo after a nice third at Bathurst the run prior. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Taking on a better field but she is up to the task. SOMETHING FOR LEXY (7) finished seventh last start over 2260m at Bathurst, beaten 16 metres after working hard in the run, scored at the previous appearance over 1730m at Bathurst. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run but might need things to go her way at some stage. Meets a comparable field and she can play a big role. MITCHELLS RUN (8) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid fifth at Coolamon over 1760m. Hard to find fault. NOSAER (6) won by 6 metres over 1660m at Parkes last start at the second run back from a spell. Open to further improvement.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
9 04:56 FORBES SHIRE COUNCIL DIGGERS CUP 2470m
 SWEET ON LEXY (2) is a three-time winner at black-type level who tackled a Group Two contest last time out and finished 13 metres from Jacks Ultimate Fury in sixth over 1730m at Bathurst. The one to beat from an ideal draw. SAINT EMILION (10) finished fifth at Menangle two runs ago before a comparable effort at his latest appearance over 1730m at Bathurst, beaten 10 metres. May just need a bit of luck at some point from this difficult draw. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of taking this out. BETTOR KEPPEL (7) disappointed last time when ninth over 1609m at Menangle. Can turn things around. PAS DE CHEVAL (9) cane race well fresh.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
