Pakenham racing tips
—
Humble Trader showed good speed to win on debut at Sandown, and although beaten last time out, it wasn’t a bad performance.
The three-year-old son of Hanseatic typically shows good barrier speed to lead, and that could be the winning of the race.
The $2.50 odds are likely to be snapped up, so take the current price.
Stake: 2 Units
Punters get each-way odds for Attain, who is never too far away from the prize after posting three consecutive placings.
Winning races hasn’t come easily, but his best form comes at Pakenham with eight starts for two wins and five placings.
It’s an even betting field, and he represents value.
Stake: 1 Unit
Boa Vista showed speed when running second at Morphettville last preparation, which came at listed level.
That’s a good form guide for this level of racing, and the three-year-old filly by Snitzel should only improve with racing under her belt.
Her odds are rock-solid, so take the price before it firms on race night.
Stake: 2 Units
The three-year-old filly isn’t far off posting a win, and she hasn’t had the best of luck in five runs so far.
She sat wide two starts back when finishing eighth, but she was better when running third at Kilmore last time out.
Look for her to settle midfield before coming with a late burst.
Stake: 1 Unit
Jason Warren lines up Ballistic Romeo, who comes off a fourth at Geelong, which is a tidy form guide for this race.
The three-year-old son of Almanzor has steadily increased in distance, and running over 2000m should suit him best.
Jamie Melham rides, which adds to our confidence levels.
Stake: 1 Unit
Boasting three wins and three placings from seven starts is First Chorus, who won at Flemington in November.
The Lindsay Smith-trained mare won by 1.5 lengths against a tidy BM70 field, and the form out of that race has stacked up well.
2kg comes off his back and he gets the inside draw.
Stake: 2 Units
Looking to score back-to-back wins is Somebody Told Me, who caused an upset when scoring at Ararat.
The three-year-old son of Tassort owns two wins from five starts, and although the other three starts didn’t inspire, he bounced back nicely.
We’re happy to stick with him at the each-way odds.
Stake: 1 Unit
Cardi Bee should be fitter after three runs this preparation, including a second placing at Ballarat two starts back.
The four-year-old mare by Ardrossan has been backed to score after opening at $5.50, which is a good move for this level of racing.
We’re following the betting move, and the $4.20 price could firm.
Stake: 1 Unit
