Pakenham Race 1 - The Valley @ Southside Pakenham Mdn Plate
SHAPENAPIT (11) has shown ability in three runs to date, trying hard at Mornington last time behind a talented winner. She should relish the rise to 1100m here from the soft draw and will take plenty of holding out. INVINCIBLE LOVER (8) is the clear danger. She ran a good race off a slow speed on debut at Cranbourne over 1000m, beaten just a long neck in a strong effort. She'll be better for that and go close. FUNDAMENTAL NATURE (5) is a filly by Exceedance on debut for the Ciaron Maher yard. She was close up in a recent jump out and should be ready to go. AFTERBERNA (4) resumes having run a solid race on debut at Cranbourne when in the market. Expect improvement over the break and she's jumped out well. KIWI HARMONY (9) struggled fresh when in the market but could be an improver.

Resumes racing after a long spell. Only one run when 4th of 10 at Cranbourne Mdn-Sw on July 17 over 1200m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Gentle Steel with 55kg at $3.70. Should be an improver this time in.

Three-year-old filly (Exceedance - Golden Elixr) who was bought for AUD $ 120,000 (Inglis 2024 Classic Yearling Sale). Ciaron Maher has her primed for this with three recent trials leading in today's debut. Runner-up in a Cranbourne jump-out on January 12. Looks handy and should run well.
