Pakenham racing tips

—

Race 1. (18:15) Beraldo Coffee BM64 (1200m)

#5 – The Opportunist @ $3.40

BET NOW

The Opportunist had every opportunity to win at Caulfield last start, but he should find this race more to his liking.

He showed good pace when winning at Warrnambool last preparation, and something close to that is good enough to figure in the finish.

Getting the inside draw is enough to take him close.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 2. (18:45) Precision Mechanical Services Maiden (1000m)

#3 – Louis Barthas @ $5.00

BET NOW

Louis Barthas ran third in his Australian debut at Sale, and he has since been given time to mature since.

The five-year-old gelding by Zoustar owns two placings from six starts, and his best form should be good enough to win this race.

Punters get each-way odds to snap up.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 3. (19:15) Ladbrokes Big Bets Maiden (1400m)

#6 – Black Eyed Blonde @ $2.70

BET NOW

Consistency is with Black Eyed Blonde, who comes off three placings this preparation, including a second placing at Pakenham last start.

The four-year-old mare by Pierata gets all favours off an inside draw, and having track experience only helps her chances.

Take the current odds before late money comes for her.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 4. (19:45) Betavet Maiden (1600m)

#3 – Icaro @ $2.25

BET NOW

We’re going with another well-backed runner, but Icaro should run well for favourite backers.

The Michael Kent-trained runner hit the line nicely behind Sketch at Caulfield, which is the best form guide for this race.

He will settle back and come with a sustained run.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 5. (20:15) Cameron Industrial Commercial BM62 (1600m)

#8 – Sinister Sauce @ $8.00

BET NOW

Shooting for back-to-back wins is Sinister Sauce, who was too good for them at Traralgon last time out.

The five-year-old mare by The Autumn Sun won her only start at the track, and that bodes well for a big effort at each-way odds.

Getting 1.5kg off her back is another positive, so include at nice odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (20:45) Wood Waste Recycling BM62 (2000m)

#6 – Art ‘N’ Soul @ $11.00

BET NOW

Punters get value odds for Art ‘N’ Soul, who is better for two runs back from a spell, and it’s going under the radar with bookmakers.

The four-year-old gelding by Soul Patch often needs a couple of runs under his belt, and he should be ready to fire here.

The heavy conditions shouldn’t worry him, so take the generous odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (21:15) AWM Pakenham BM62 (1200m)

#7 – Twisted Queen @ $9.50

BET NOW

Twisted Queen showed good pace when winning on debut at Kyneton, and something similar is enough to be competitive here.

The four-year-old mare by Hallowed Crown didn’t fire last time out, but the smaller field didn’t suit, and she got blocked for room.

Luke Currie rides, so include at generous odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (21:45) Shawn Mendis Lawyers BM62 (1400m)

#5 – The Negotiator @ $15.00

BET NOW

There are good odds for The Negotiator, who kicked things off this preparation with a third placing at Kilmore.

That was a tidy fresh up effort from the six-year-old son of Dundeel, who is a two-time winner at Pakenham and three-time winner over the distance.

Barrier three helps his cause, so include at a value price.

Stake: 1 Unit
