| Race | Horse | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| R5 No.5 | Stage ‘N’ Screen | Resumes. Looks well suited, race map, conditions and has won 1st up. |
| R6 No.3 | No Fooling | Fitter 2nd up and dropping in weight will suit. |
Turf Talk:
- Track is rated a Soft 6 currently but there is a chance for showers which could lead to a downgrade.
- The rail will come in from its previous position and be +3m here today.
- Expecting a slight advantage will be with runners who settle forward of midfield and runners will likely come away from the rail in the straight and lanes 5,6,7,8 perhaps the best going.
Stats That Matter:
- Celine Gaudray is in super form — in her last 100 rides she has had 19 winners at a POT of +22.3% and rides this Pakenham track well with a positive POT return of +24.2%.
Race 5 No.5 Stage ‘N’ Screen
STAGE ‘N’ SCREEN resumes here tonight. She has performed well previously 1st up into a prep (2:1-0-1) and has had two trials in the lead up so expect she can perform well again fresh. Looks likely to get the positive race map which is expected to suit at the track and she was a winner in a similar race to this late last prep, looks a big price for the set up she gets.
Selections:
(5) Stage ‘N’ Screen
Suggested Bet: Stage ‘N’ Screen (Each-Way)
Race 6 No.3 No Fooling
NO FOOLING was well supported last start when resuming here over this same track and trip. He had to carry a big weight and did appear to have every chance but could benefit here today with an apprentice claim and dropping down 3kgs. Think with the extra fitness and the light weight this will suit better in the expected wet conditions.
Selections:
(3) No Fooling
Suggested Bet: No Fooling (Win)
