The time is right for Amy’s Shadow ($2.60 favourite on TAB) to hit back and stamp her class in the Parkes Services Club Parkes Cup (1600m) on Sunday.

It will be a 900km round trip by the time Lettre D'amour finds her way home after racing in the feature race at Narromine on Tuesday, but trainer Philippe Vigouroux isn’t the least bit concerned.

Gulgong’s multiple regional premiership trainer Brett Thompson is confident at value odds with emerging speedster Ellysay in Saturday’s Coonabarabran TAB feature race, the 1200m Autumn Cup.

The last time jockey Jason Collett went out of his way to take a ride in a Newhaven Park Country Championships Qualifier he guided an emerging mare into the Final so he’s hoping history repeats when he rides Amy’s Shadow in the $150,000 feature at Mudgee on Sunday.
