Synthetic racing in the winter continues from the Pakenham racecourse.
The Punter’s Prince is ready to find all the best bets and values with his confidence ratings ahead of the nine-race card.
pakenham race 1
#8 fantastic galaxy
Yet to really see her at her best.
She has finally been able to get up to the staying trips but has copped heavy tracks.
Back to firmer ground and should be much better served.
Suggested Bet: Fantastic Galaxy win at $3.10
Confidence Rating: 6/10
pakenham race 2
#2 choquant
Comes out a relatively strong maiden race at Cranbourne over 1400 metres when running second to Gabster.
It was a great effort considering it was his debut run, and he will surely come on significantly.
Up to 1600 metres suits.
Suggested Bet: Choquant win at $4
Confidence Rating: 7.5/10
pakenham race 3
#6 frosty lass
Crazy to think you would be luckless in a five-horse field, but that was the case for Frosty Lass.
Gets an outside barrier now, and she will be in clear air with Daniel Moor taking the ride off the apprentice.
Distance rise to 1400 metres will be appreciated given this horse was strong through the line after the finish post the last start.
Suggested Bet: Frosty Lass win at $3.90
Confidence Rating: 7.5/10
pakenham race 5
#6 crystal dynsaty
Should get complete control of the lead here.
Down in grade suits her big time despite the weight impost.
Her solid fitness base and ability to handle the all-weather surface are what will overcome the weight factor.
Suggested Bet: Crystal Dynasty
Confidence Rating: 8.5/10
pakenham race 7
#3 southern front
Raced as though the 1000 metres on resuming was way too short for him.
Was attacking the line nicely behind a very smart one called Inundation.
Should strip fitter for that run and can easily settle on the speed throughout.
Suggested Bet: Southern Front win at $4.20
Confidence Rating: 5/10
