5Chowdown
Hawkes stable excels first-up; barrier 6 ideal for very fast tempo favouring closers per track bias. 3yo improver with Harry Coffey (20% recent strike). Chowdown's upside edges it despite limited prep.

Second up from spell with fitness edge over first-uppers. Wide draw hurts but Pakenham on-speed bias and very fast tempo could suit if improves with gear.

6Simply Outrageous
Barrier 3 suits weak inside bias and fast tempo favouring midfielders. High Good track suitability (2:1-1-0). Maher's #1 not selected despite topweight - wide barrier 12, backmarker in fast tempo vulnerable.
2nd pickWon
3Stung
Stung earns third on first-up stats (1:1-0-0), barrier 4 perfect for Pakenham 1400m inside bias (14% win 1-6). Huge class drop from G2 5th, Hayes team sharp fresh. Fast tempo/closers bias aids. Form edges limited runners like Baywatch (class rise). Solid place despite long spell.
3rd pickScratched
