Pakenham Race 2 - Duffy & Simon Lawyers (Bm64)

COTTON TREE (1) on top. He was a smart winner at this track over 2000m two back before a solid effort out to 2400m at Sandown Hillside. Better for that run, he finds a winnable race here and can continue to improve. HANAFUBUKI (3) is knocking on the door, finishing in the first three at her past three starts. Will be hard fit coming back from 3000m last time and should take beating again. MERCANTE (2) was a narrow winner here over 2550m two back before struggling at Bendigo when in the market. Needs to find best but does map well. GYPSY COVE (4) is coming off an easy maiden win here last time out and may be able to go on with it. BIT OF OZ (5) perhaps next best.

Comes here off a 32-day let-up. At the latest run 5th of 7 at Bendigo Bm64 on February 9 over 2400m, 6 len behind Black Peppermint with 60kg at $4.20. The run before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a neck at this track Bm64 January 17 over 2550m defeating Legatus carrying 58kg at $2.80. Deserves another chance.
