Pakenham Race 5 - Sportsbet – Set A Deposit Limit Hcp (C1)
FLUENT (8) ran a nice race fresh at Sandown Hillside over 1000m, no match for a smart winner but holding down second. Fitter for that and her form last time in hinted at a promising filly. LAST DRUID (1) has been around the mark in two runs this preparation, boxing on when beaten just a length at Sandown Hillside in BM74 grade. Gets every chance with Shinn from the soft draw. GRUZAMBA (3) resumes. He was a dominant maiden winner on debut at Kyneton as a heavily backed $1.50 chance, solid at Flemington next time out. Has ability, keep safe. REASONABLE POINT (6) struggled last time in a stronger race at Flemington but has pieces of form that would be competitive. Look for an improved showing. ZESTIMAN (2) was okay fresh and in the mix.
