| Race | Horse | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| R6/4 | Feeling Dusty | Fitter 2nd up and suited rising in trip. |
| R8/2 | Supernima (Best) | Suited up in trip 2nd up now on a track he has had strong success at. |
Track
- Track is currently rated in the soft range; there is rain forecast through Friday so expect the races to be run on a wet track.
- The rail goes out from the previous two meetings here and will be +9m entire
- Expecting a slight advantage will be with runners who settle forwards of midfield and runners will likely come away from the rail in the straight and lanes 5,6,7,8 will be best if the track is wet as expected
Stats
- Carleen Hefel has won 15 of her last 100 rides at a huge POT of +78.4%, she also has a healthy return of +20.5% at this track alone and is booked for 4 rides here.
Race 6 No.4 Feeling Dusty
FEELING DUSTY was solid when resuming up in grade. 2nd up and fitter now suits and looks the right time for him to take a step up in distance to the 1600m where he has won previously over this track/distance. Suited at this track and down slightly in grade, gets a better set up today.

Race 8 No.2 Supernima
SUERNIMA is another runner who can be an improver 2nd up. Previously has good form over the 1200m trip, especially here at Pakenham where he has a record of (3:2-1-0) at this track/distance set up. Suggest that he found the 1000m too sharp when resuming so looks better suited here today. Drawn a wide barrier but that feels no disadvantage, especially if the track is wet given it is likely runners will want to be off rails in the straight.
