Pakenham racing tips

—

Peeaitchdee had his chance to win last time out, but it was another good run, and we’re giving him one more chance.

The four-year-old son of So You Think owns seven placings from eight starts, and he’ll only improve with racing under his belt this prep.

$2.70 is the shortest price we’d be prepared to take, so watch the market.

Stake: 1.5 Units

On the Loose wasn’t far away on debut when running third at Pakenham, and track experience only helps his chances.

The three-year-old son of Turn Me Loose showed good barrier speed to land on the pace, which is a good asset to have.

Punters get each-way odds, which are worth snapping up.

Stake: 1 Unit

Circus Circus should be stronger after running fourth twice during her first preparation for Graeme Begg.

The three-year-old filly by Pierro raced at Bendigo and Geelong, and it was a tricky maiden field last time out, so this should be easier.

Barrier two is ideal, and she should give punters a good sight.

Stake: 1 Unit

Caffettiera showed good form during her first preparation, including a win at Mornington and placings at Geelong and Cranbourne.

Her only poor effort came at Caulfield when running eighth at Group 3 level behind Motorsports, so the form checks out at midweek level.

The inside draw is ideal, so include her in picks.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Diggers Aim won well at Pakenham two starts ago, and something close to that performance should be good enough.

The four-year-old son of Odyssey Moon owns a win and two placings from four starts at Pakenham, so the form is ideal.

Having a strong rider in Jamie Mott riding helps, so take the value odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Grand Omaha showed good pace to start her career, including a win at Kilmore and a placing at Bendigo.

Her most recent effort at Caulfield wasn’t flash, but it came behind Spicy Lu and Just a Journey, and she wasn’t up to that elite level.

This is a massive drop in class, and it could pay dividends.

Stake: 2 Units

Punters get each-way odds for Stay Silent, who won well at Sale two starts back before grinding away at Pakenham for fifth last start.

The four-year-old son of Deep Field has yet to fire in two runs at the track, but he’s a tough customer, and he could find the front and kick strongly.

62.5kg isn’t an easy weight to carry, but class takes him close.

Stake: 1 Unit

Helping Hands got off the mark with a good debut win at Stony Creek, scoring by a length as a $2.05 favourite.

Punters get better odds this time around, and the four-year-old son of Tarzino is bred to relish the distance and time under his belt.

He’s drifting after opening at $4.40, but we’re not concerned.

Stake: 1 Unit
