Pakenham racing tips

—

Race 1. (16:45) No Fuss Event Hire Maiden (1600m)

#3 - Onedayon @ $2.15

BET NOW

Onedayon has been all around the mark in three career starts, including a third placing at Pakenham fresh up.

The four-year-old son of Justify doesn’t meet much of a maiden field on Thursday, and getting barrier two only adds to his appeal.

The odds are likely to firm on race day, so take the current price.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 2. (17:15) AWM Pakenham Maiden (1400m)

#1 - Alpine Fox @ $4.00

BET NOW

There isn’t much value with Bring Forth at $1.50, so we’re taking the each-way odds for debutant Alpine Fox.

The three-year-old son of Foxwedge ran second in a recent jumpout at Cranbourne, which is typically a good form guide.

1.5kg comes off his back and it’s good to see betting support for him.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (17:45) Stephanie Peek Maiden (1200m)

#9 - Sassy for Sure @ $2.40

BET NOW

Sassy for Sure looked good running second on debut at Caulfield behind Frostnip, which should be a good form guide.

The two-year-old daughter of Doubtland gets all favours from a positive barrier, and she could sit right on the speed.

The $2.40 odds are likely to firm on race day.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 4. (18:15) Australian Racing Tours Maiden (1100m)

#9 - Tuscaloosa Gem @ $2.25

BET NOW

Looking to cap off consecutive second placings is Tuscaloosa Gem, who shouldn’t take much longer to win a race.

The three-year-old daughter of Alabama Express is bred for speed and her second placing at Mornington is a good form guide.

The inside draw adds to our confidence levels, so put her on top.

Stake: 2.5 Unit

Race 5. (18:45) Lachlan Paino BM58 (1100m)

#3 - Licica @ $7.50

BET NOW

Liciba hasn’t been at her best recently, but the five-year-old showed good speed earlier in her career.

She owns a win and a placing from nine starts, and although she didn’t fire fresh up at Pakenham, that followed good trial efforts at Caulfield.

Getting 2kg off her back is ideal, and the each-way odds are generous.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (19:15) Bunyip Equipment C1 (1200m)

#1 - The Grumpy Bear @ $3.10

BET NOW

We don’t think the big weight will stop The Grumpy Bear, who has made a positive start to his career with five starts for a win and two placings.

The three-year-old son of Brutal won at Bendigo by two lengths, and he was only a half-length behind the winner at Moe last start.

Getting $3.10 is a fair price from bookmakers, so include him in horse racing picks.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 7. (19:45) Trailtrekker Floats BM64 (1000m)

#7 - Egerton @ $2.40

BET NOW

Seeking back-to-back wins is Egerton, who won by 2.3 lengths to exit maiden company at Pakenham.

The five-year-old mare by Your Song had been threatening to win after three consecutive second placings, and those are all good form guides.

She gets the inside draw, and she could dictate the pace of the race.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 8. (00:15) Shanks Electrical BM64 (1400m)

#7 - Odegaard @ $5.00

BET NOW

The four-year-old son of Shamus Award runs for a new stable after showing good speed in New South Wales.

He won at Hawkesbury by a half-length before finishing fifth at Wyong and third at Canterbury, and those runs are good form guides for racing at Pakenham.

Punters get each-way odds, which are worth including in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit
