Pakenham Synthetic racing tips
—
Laa De Sha is long overdue a win, but coming to Pakenham on a Monday could see his best form return.
The five-year-old son of Shalaa is a five-time winner from 18 starts, and although his recent form has been moderate, he has raced at Caulfield and Sandown.
It’s last-chance saloon, but he should win.
Stake: 4 Units
Express Barbie looks to have more upside than most runners in this field following a close-up sixth at Cranbourne on debut.
The four-year-old mare by Alabama Express was hitting the line nicely, and a repeat of that should be good enough to beat this field.
Take the $2.50 odds before money comes for her late.
Stake: 3 Units
Money has come for Queen of Light, who is on debut after finishing third in a couple of jumpouts.
The $375,000 purchase out of Karaka has been patiently handled as a four-year-old, and that’s often a good sign for this stable.
It could pay to watch race day betting moves, but they should be strong.
Stake: 1.5 Units
There isn’t much covering this field from top to bottom, and Cuban Dawn could cap off solid form with a win.
The six-year-old son of Teofilo owns three placings from 12 starts, and he wasn’t far away when fourth at Pakenham two starts back.
Slight improvement should be enough to take it close.
Stake: 1 Unit
Each-way value is with Red Feathers, who showed good speed fresh up when running second at Cranbourne.
The mare by Toronado didn’t fire on this track last start, but she’s much better than that, and having experience on synthetic should do her some good.
Given the opposition, getting $7 is a good price.
Stake: 1.5 Units
Looking to cap off consecutive second placings is Austrata, who placed in both runs at Pakenham, so we’re happy to stick with him.
The nine-year-old isn’t lacking experience, and after five attempts on synthetic tracks, it’s about time he took advantage.
Getting the inside draw could be enough to see him win.
Stake: 1 Unit
Dun Wondering is a nice type on his day, so we’re giving him another chance despite running 12th in his most recent start.
That came at Caulfield against much stronger opposition, so we’re not surprised, and his second placing prior came at Ballarat Synthetic.
After opening at $5, his odds have drifted, but we are happy with the extra value.
Stake: 1 Unit
Another runner looking to bounce back after a moderate run is Emmcee, who ran last at Sandown, but he looked much better prior.
The four-year-old son of Microphone won at Pakenham two back, where he has yet to finish worse than second from two attempts.
The odds are much better than we expected, so include him in pick for value.
Stake: 1 Unit
