1. Prince Of Mercia | Winner at Geelong and placed once this prep. Gets the blinkers back on. Large claim helps. Needs the breaks. |
2. Electric | First run for a new trainer. Not the worst. |
3. Panagsama | Short back-up of seven days and won once this prep at Pakenham Synthetic three runs back. Awkwardly drawn. Chance. |
4. Coaxial | Last start winner to break maiden at Pakenham Synthetic. Won't be far away in the run and should run fitter for past attempts. Should fight out the finish. |
5. Eclipse Solar | On a seven day back-up. Finished strongly to end up midfield last start at Pakenham Synthetic and has two placings from eight runs this prep. Right in this. |
6. Martini Special | 2-1/4 len win of 10 (6) $3.20F 58.0 Strike The Night, Aristobeaux 1200m Pakenham Synthetic 2yo+ Hcp (58) Synthetic July 9. Slowly away nk 2nd of 11 (3) $2.90 57.0 Video 1200m Pakenham Synthetic 3yo+ (Bm58) Synthetic Aug 1. |
7. Wilde Gem | Has placed in three runs from six this campaign and amongst the placegetters last start running third at Bairnsdale. Not the worst. |
8. Riverdance Lad | Finished four lengths off the winner last start at Pakenham Synthetic and won once this prep at the track three runs back. Likely to race on the speed. Not keen. |
9. Sodbuster | Placed in first start this prep and finished midfield last start at Ballarat Synthetic. Up in distance. Should go well. |
10. Squamanzer | Finished worse than midfield last start at Ballarat Synthetic and gets the blinkers back on. Has not won at Pakenham Synthetic previously. Not in this. |
11. Tywina | Did nothing to threaten last start at Pakenham Synthetic and won once this prep at the track three runs back. Likely to settle back in the field. Hard to have. |
12. Rye Dee Oh | Back after 29 week break and coming to a new trainer. Needs a few starts to get warm. Looking to others. |
13. Lucifer's Reward | Short back-up of seven days and is yet to salute in nine runs this prep. Drawn ideally but still looks tested. |
