Winner5. Fundamental NatureSP $3.60
★ Top pick3rd
11Shapenapit

Our price $3.80 · SP $4.20 · Jye McNeil

The likely fast tempo should suit her finishing style, and Jye McNeil is a significant jockey booking. Appears ready to break through.

2nd pick4th
8Invincible Lover

Our price $4.50 · SP $4.20 · Zac Spain

Invincible Lover showed significant promise on debut when finishing a close second at Cranbourne. The well-bred filly by I Am Invincible should derive natural improvement from that experience. Drawn to get a good run from barrier 6 and the Kennewell/Spain combination has a solid strike rate. The tongue tie going on suggests potential improvement.

3rd pickScratched
10Miss Navratilova

Our price $8.00 · Michael Dee

Miss Navratilova brings solid consistency with placings in two of her three starts. Michael Dee is a quality jockey booking and she should handle the likely fast tempo. The wide barrier is a slight concern but she has tactical versatility.

Value pick2nd
4Afterberna

Our price $6.00 · SP $7.50 · Robert Whearty

While she has limited race experience with just one start, that run showed promise and there's significant scope for improvement. The 190-day break suggests she's been given time to mature and develop.

Winner2. I Only WishSP $2.45
★ Top pickWon
2I Only Wish

Our price $2.20 · SP $2.45 · Luke Currie

I Only Wish brings the strongest recent form, finishing a close second at Flemington over 1800m just 13 days ago. While yet to win at 2000m, her racing pattern suggests the extra distance will suit, and she's shown consistent form throughout her career.

2nd pick4th
1Hurry Curry

Our price $4.00 · SP $6.50 · Jackson Radley

Hurry Curry drops significantly in class after competing in Group races. Her third in the Group 1 Flemington 2500m race last preparation shows her quality, and she has a good second-up record. While her recent form has been moderate, the class drop combined with her staying ability makes her a genuine contender. The moderate tempo should suit her racing pattern.

3rd pick5th
7Draw Attention

Our price $8.00 · SP $8.00 · Luke Nolen

While stepping up in distance and class, her racing pattern suggests she'll appreciate the 2000m. Luke Nolen is a significant booking with a 28% win rate at this track.

Value pick3rd
4Fiery Deal

Our price $5.50 · SP $4.80 · Jye McNeil

Fiery Deal represents excellent value as a progressive mare on the rise. Her dominant win last start at Cranbourne over 2025m suggests she's ready for this step up in class.

Winner9. FoxenbergSP $3.30
★ Top pickWon
9Foxenberg

Our price $3.80 · SP $3.30 · Jamie Mott

Foxenberg returns from a spell with excellent first-up credentials (1 win from 1 start) and drops significantly in class after competing in open company. His form at this distance is strong (1-0-1 from 3 starts) and he's well-weighted with 58.5kg. Jamie Mott (19% strike rate at Pakenham) takes the ride, and the removal of the nose roll could sharpen him up. The very fast tempo should suit his racing pattern.

2nd pick3rd
2Charmed Run

Our price $4.80 · SP $3.10 · Jackson Radley

Charmed Run comes into this second-up with a consistent record in this position (0-0-3 from 3 starts). Her last start 2nd at Warrnambool was solid, and she boasts an impressive record at this distance (5-2-3 from 16 starts). The very fast tempo should suit her racing style.

3rd pick2nd
4Pick 'n' Mix

Our price $5.20 · SP $6.00 · Luke Currie

Pick 'n' Mix brings a strong overall record (3-0-1 from 5 starts) into this race and has performed well second-up previously (0-0-1 from 1 start). The gear changes (ear muffs first time, ear muffs pre-race only off) could help settle her better. Luke Currie is a strong booking with a 19% win rate when teaming up with the McEvoy stable. The very fast tempo may work against her on-pace style.

Value pick6th
8Machinist

Our price $16.00 · SP $31.00 · Lachlan Neindorf

He has previous experience at this track and distance (0-0-1 from 1 start) and drops in class from his last start. Lachlan Neindorf is in good form with a 20% strike rate from his last 20 rides. The very fast tempo should suit his racing pattern.

5Shinjina

Our price $3.20 · SP $2.70 · Emily Pozman

First-up from a spell but has placed when fresh previously. Gets in well at the weights with 55kg and drops significantly in class from Group 3 company. Drawn perfectly in barrier 3 and should get an ideal run in midfield with Emily Pozman aboard.

2nd pick3rd
3Wiltshire Square

Our price $6.00 · SP $9.50 · Luke Cartwright

Perfectly drawn in barrier 1 and drops significantly in class from previous Group racing. Strong overall record of 7:1-1-3 and performs well on Good tracks.

4Frostnip

Our price $5.00 · SP $5.50 · Jye McNeil

Gets the services of quality jockey Jye McNeil who has a 19% strike rate with the stable. Drops significantly in class but carries top weight of 59kg. Overall record of 4:1-1-0 shows promise.

Value pick5th
8Kiwi Raider

Our price $7.00 · SP $9.00 · Ethan Brown

Kiwi Raider represents excellent value despite the class rise. Unbeaten with Ethan Brown aboard who is in red-hot form with 8 wins from his last 20 rides. Significant gear changes with cross-over nose band off and norton bit on for the first time. Perfect barrier 2 draw and has a strong overall record of 2:1-0-1. Improving profile suggests more to come.

Our price $4.20 · SP $3.90 · Ben Melham

Global Eclipse brings excellent consistency with 7 placings from 10 starts and has strong recent form with consecutive seconds before a 6th place finish last start. Ben Melham's booking is significant with his 20% recent strike rate and 19% success with the stable.

3rd pick4th
5Cyclone Harmony

Our price $5.50 · SP $8.00 · Jackson Radley

The step up to 2000m looks suitable based on his finishing efforts, and he's well-weighted with just 55kg. Jackson Radley is a promising young rider with a 15% recent strike rate.

Value pick3rd
8Quite The Lass

Our price $4.00 · SP $4.80 · Jye McNeil

Her running style should be suited by the backmarker-favoring track bias identified in recent meetings. The booking of quality jockey Jye McNeil is significant, and with just 55.5kg, she's well-weighted to finish strongly. Her third placing at 2040m previously suggests the distance will suit.

1Aliano

Our price $2.10 · SP $1.55 · Jye McNeil

Progressive 4YO gelding showing excellent form with back-to-back wins. Jockey Jye McNeil has a perfect record on this horse with 2 wins from 2 rides. Drawn ideally in barrier 2 to utilize early speed in a race with likely fast tempo. First attempt at 1400m is the query, but his strong finishing efforts suggest the distance should suit. Class rise is offset by natural improvement.

2nd pick6th
7Jewel Bay

Our price $7.00 · SP $8.00 · Michael Dee

Consistent 5YO gelding coming off an excellent second at this track just 7 days ago. Barrier 7 is the only slight concern.

3rd pick4th
10Tsarine

Our price $8.00 · SP $8.00 · Lachlan Neindorf

Lightly-raced 4YO mare with a progressive profile showing strong recent form including a good second last start over 1600m. The application of blinkers for the first time could provide the necessary improvement. Wide barrier is the main concern, but the likely fast tempo should allow her to find cover and finish strongly. Handles good tracks well.

Value pickWon
2Bons To Riches

Our price $7.50 · SP $12.00 · Shane Foley

Consistent 5YO gelding coming off a strong win at Cranbourne over 1300m. Has a solid record at this class level and is drawn to get an ideal run from barrier 3. First attempt at 1400m is the query, but his racing pattern suggests the distance should suit. Carrying equal top weight is offset by his proven ability at this level.

4Hedged

Our price $6.00 · SP $9.50 · Harry Coffey

He draws the inside barrier which should be advantageous at Pakenham, and drops back from Group 3 company where he was competitive. While his overall record is modest, his current form cycle suggests he's racing at his peak.

Second-up here after a solid 3rd when fresh at Caulfield. The Mick Kent/Ethan Brown combination boasts an impressive 38% strike rate. Should get a perfect midfield position from barrier 6 and will be strong late with the expected fast tempo. Represents the best winning chance.

2nd pickWon

Consistent mare dropping in class after a solid 2nd in BM74 company at Flemington. Boasts an excellent record at the distance with 2 wins and 2 placings from 6 attempts. Will likely take up a forward position from barrier 2 which suits the track pattern. Emily Pozman maintains the ride and while her track record at Pakenham is modest, she knows this mare well.

While unproven at Pakenham, her adaptability to different tracks is a positive. The slight class drop from her last start should see her competitive again.
