Pakenham Race 6 - Sportsbet Future Stars Series Heat 5 Mdn Plate
MENZAH ONE (2) was hard in the market first up at Cranbourne over 1200m and worked home well to grab third. He looks suited getting to 1400m for the first time and with that run under the belt he should take plenty of beating. STORM AHEAD (4) was good on debut at Sale over this trip as a $3 chance, beaten under a length. He'll be better for that experience and looks a key chance from the raced brigade. Big watch on MISS ALEXIS (11), a full sister to the talented Federer, out of Caulfield Cup winner Jameka. Her jumpouts have been solid and she's got the pedigree to go a long way. SWEET AS A KISS (12) made good improvement at her second outing and can improve again.

Gelding by Universal Ruler making his first appearance. Finished tenth in a Ballarat trial over 900m on December 9. Unplaced in recent trials but can put it together here.
