Pakenham racing tips

—

Race 1. (17:15) Ladbrokes Big Bets Maiden (1600m)

#1 – Peeaitchdee @ $2.70

BET NOW

Peeaitchdee had his chance to win last time out, but it was another good run, and we’re giving him one more chance.

The four-year-old son of So You Think owns seven placings from eight starts, and he’ll only improve with racing under his belt this prep.

$2.70 is the shortest price we’d be prepared to take, so watch the market.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 2. (17:45) Beraldo Coffee Maiden (1400m)

#9 – On the Loose @ $4.60

BET NOW

On the Loose wasn’t far away on debut when running third at Pakenham, and track experience only helps his chances.

The three-year-old son of Turn Me Loose showed good barrier speed to land on the pace, which is a good asset to have.

Punters get each-way odds, which are worth snapping up.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (18:15) Summerset Retirement Village Maiden (1100m)

#3 – Circus Circus @ $4.20

BET NOW

Circus Circus should be stronger after running fourth twice during her first preparation for Graeme Begg.

The three-year-old filly by Pierro raced at Bendigo and Geelong, and it was a tricky maiden field last time out, so this should be easier.

Barrier two is ideal, and she should give punters a good sight.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (18:45) Computer Talk Business It Experts BM70 (1000m)

#5 – Caffettiera @ $4.20

BET NOW

Caffettiera showed good form during her first preparation, including a win at Mornington and placings at Geelong and Cranbourne.

Her only poor effort came at Caulfield when running eighth at Group 3 level behind Motorsports, so the form checks out at midweek level.

The inside draw is ideal, so include her in picks.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 5. (19:15) The Big Screen Company BM62 (2500m)

#7 – Diggers Aim @ $6.00

BET NOW

Diggers Aim won well at Pakenham two starts ago, and something close to that performance should be good enough.

The four-year-old son of Odyssey Moon owns a win and two placings from four starts at Pakenham, so the form is ideal.

Having a strong rider in Jamie Mott riding helps, so take the value odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (19:45) Duffy & Simon Lawyers C1 (1400m)

#6 – Grand Omaha @ $5.00

BET NOW

Grand Omaha showed good pace to start her career, including a win at Kilmore and a placing at Bendigo.

Her most recent effort at Caulfield wasn’t flash, but it came behind Spicy Lu and Just a Journey, and she wasn’t up to that elite level.

This is a massive drop in class, and it could pay dividends.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 7. (20:15) Hygain Edge BM62 (1400m)

#3 – Stay Silent @ $5.00

BET NOW

Punters get each-way odds for Stay Silent, who won well at Sale two starts back before grinding away at Pakenham for fifth last start.

The four-year-old son of Deep Field has yet to fire in two runs at the track, but he’s a tough customer, and he could find the front and kick strongly.

62.5kg isn’t an easy weight to carry, but class takes him close.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (20:45) Cameron Industrial Commercial BM62 (1600m)

#4 – Helping Hands @ $6.00

BET NOW

Helping Hands got off the mark with a good debut win at Stony Creek, scoring by a length as a $2.05 favourite.

Punters get better odds this time around, and the four-year-old son of Tarzino is bred to relish the distance and time under his belt.

He’s drifting after opening at $4.40, but we’re not concerned.

Stake: 1 Unit
