Pakenham racing tips

Race 1. (18:15) Ladbrokes Popular SRM Maiden (1600m)

#1 – Dela Bella @ $5.00

Dela Bella has been threatening to win after numerous solid efforts, and there isn’t much depth to this field.

The five-year-old mare ran a solid fifth at Mornington in good conditions, and the easing of the surface could be right up her alley.

We’re happy to give her another chance.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (18:45) Stables Plus Maiden (1200m)

#9 – Healing Frequency @ $7.50

Healing Frequency has looked good enough at the jumpouts to handle this field, and getting the inside draw always helps the youngster.

The three-year-old filly by Impending should show enough early speed to hold the front from the draw, and she is bred for speed.

She’s in the hands of Waller, so that gives us confidence.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (19:15) Ladbrokes Pakenham Cup Dec 13 Maiden (1400m)

#6 – Forceofone @ $2.60

Money has come for Forceofone, who showed much better speed when running third at Sale fresh up.

The three-year-old son of Super Seth didn’t handle the level of opposition on debut at Sandown, which was a tough race, and the form has since stacked up.

This is easier, and the conditions shouldn’t worry him.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 4. (19:45) Ray White Pakenham & Officer Maiden (2000m)

#6 – Vltava @ $9.50

Value odds are with Vltava, who is going through his gears after three solid race day starts.

The three-year-old son of Prague wasn’t far away when fourth at Wangaratta last time out, and the race fitness holds him in good stead.

Given the odds, we’re happy to include him in our horse racing tips.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (20:15) Computer Talk Business IT Experts BM66 (2500m)

#5 – Callawadda @ $11.00

We will take double-figure odds for Callawadda, who scored back-to-back wins at Ballarat and Bendigo earlier this preparation.

The five-year-old son of Fiorente hasn’t been too far away since, including a third at Bendigo last start, and he should handle heavy conditions better than most.

Take the value odds in what should be a close finish.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (20:45) Dalton Consulting Engineers Handicap (1000m)

#8 – Night Flash @ $6.50

Night Flash has run well fresh up with two placings from two starts, and he could go one better on Friday night.

The three-year-old son of Harry Angel ended last prep with only moderate efforts, but he was on tired legs, and his best form comes early.

He’s a value each-way hope at the current odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (21:15) Grant’s Plumbing & Drainage BM62 (1200m)

#3 – Delicate Lady @ $3.90

Gunning for back-to-back wins is Delicate Lady, who enjoyed the heavy conditions at Kilmore last time out.

The four-year-old mare by Inference scored by a length as a $2.10 chance, so punters get better odds this time around.

It’s an even field, and she should go close.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 8. (21:45) Gippsland Premium Quarries BM66 (1400m)

#1 – Shaalute @ $5.00

Shaalute gets a valuable 3kg off his back after being lumped with 64.5kg, which is because of his excellent winning record.

The four-year-old owns six wins from 17 starts, including four wins from his last five starts, so the form is tough to overlook.

He needs luck, but he’s good enough to keep posting victories.

Stake: 1 Unit
