Pakenham Synthetic Race 1

9Mile Fresh (Bm70)

Prize Money: $27,000

NATION STATE (3) can make the running and get a soft time of it here. He was admittedly below his best last start, but that was in heavy conditions. With a jump out between runs, he can go well. LAA DE SHA (1) was plain last start in a higher grade of race and will be suited by the drop in class. His best is clearly the best in this race. IL CUBO (2) presents with a last start second placing on the Ballarat Synthetic and can go one better, being well placed in this grade. MANHATTAN VIEW (7) next best.

At the latest run held ground to the line 2nd of 7 at Ballarat Synthetic Bm70 on August 7 over 1200m, 0.8 len behind Ruminate carrying 59kg at $4.20. The start before that sat behind the speed prior to fading 11th of 13 at Sandown-Hillside Bm70 on July 16 over 1300m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Vienna Vixen carrying 59kg at $21. Went close last time. Tough to beat, provided he holds his form.

Returns from a 47-day let-up. Most recently 10th of 12 at Sandown-Lakeside Bm70 on July 2 over 1200m, on a wet track; 17 len behind La Fracas with 59.5kg at $12. The run before that 6th of 12 at Sandown-Hillside Bm70 on June 18 over 1300m, 2.75 len behind Silver Cliff with 60kg at $17. Nicely placed to make amends for a poor run on a heavy track last start.

Before that second last of 12 at Sandown-Lakeside F&M Bm70 on July 9 over 1200m, slow going 9 len behind Bossy Benita carrying 54kg at $201. Hard to enthuse based on recent form.
