Pakenham Synthetic Race 7

Trailtrekker Floats Synthetic Sprint Series Final (Bm78)

Prize Money: $50,000

Very competitive affair, which is appropriate for the Sprint Series Final, which is run for good money. CHARCOALS (3) was a good winner in town last time out, which was the first run since finishing midfield - albeit beaten just over two lengths - in Saturday city grade and did win the previous two starts on this track. Does have to overcome a wide gate though. LAA DE SHA (8) was introduced to synthetic racing last start and responded with an emphatic victory. This is a rise in grade but looks to be drawn beautifully. LUNA CAT (5) also draws low and doesn't win often but has run some cracking races in better grade than this and only needs the right run to figure. She'll be launching late. FREAK OF NATURE (6) is better than recent runs suggest and has won here before, so he could be the value player. You don't have to go back too far to see NAMESAKE (1) winning in town, so the talent is there and gets in well after the 3kg claim.

At the latest run 11th of 13 at Moonee Valley Bm84 on August 9 over 1200m, slow going 5 len behind Red Hot Nicc with 56kg at $13. The run before that eased back early on 8th of 10 at Caulfield Bm78 on July 26 over 1100m, slow going 2.5 len behind Pop Award carrying 59.5kg at $21. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.

Second-up. First-up after seven months won by 0.8 len at Ballarat Synthetic Bm70 August 7 over 1200m defeating Il Cubo with 60.5kg at $3.90. Previously second-up 3rd of 12 at Ballarat Synthetic Bm70 on June 18 2024 over 1200m, 1.0 len behind Rosalia carrying 57.5kg at $4. In the money when second up in the past and can add to that record today.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 4th of 13 at Moonee Valley Bm84 on August 9 over 1200m, slow going 1.1 len behind Red Hot Nicc with 56kg at $7. The race before that 3rd of 10 at Caulfield Bm78 on July 26 over 1100m, on a slow track; 0.7 len behind Pop Award carrying 59kg at $16. Needs luck but finds the right race.

Most recently 5th of 10 at Caulfield Bm84 on August 16 over 1400m, slow going 4 len behind Home Rule carrying 56kg at $8.50.

Second run back. First-up after five months faded in the straight ran last of 10 at Caulfield Bm78 on July 26 over 1100m, slow going 7 len behind Pop Award carrying 58.5kg at $18. Previously second-up won by 0.8 len at Moonee Valley Bm64 November 29 over 955m defeating Lloyd's Crown with 63.5kg at $1.70. Unlikely to trouble this field.

1200m

Comments

Back from a spell. Finished off last preparation third in a small field at Pakenham Bm70 March 13 over 1200m, 3 len behind Proved carrying 58.5kg at $4.40. Previous preparation first-up won by nose Sale Bm64 December 22 over 1100m defeating Keane Enuff carrying 57.5kg at $5. Might be better off following this run.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace
