Pakenham Race 5 - Browns Fertilisers (Bm70)
Good race, and excited to see smart mare KNOBELAS (5) resume. She went through the grades impressively as a 3yo, winning by big spaces at her second and third starts, then starting $1.90 in a good race at Flemington when overrun late. She profiles as a mare that could reach group class and if that's the case, she should be going close here despite giving away fitness. MERCURIAL LADY (6) could be an improver going to 1400m. She may have been unsuited staying at 1200m at Caulfield Heath last start but still ran well, now she can be allowed to roll forward and set a good tempo. ZOURAIN (1) improved nicely to this track and trip second up when winning at $2.60. Bit more depth here but he's a handy horse who maps ideally. EXPRESS GUARD (4) has been building nicely this time in and should be right there. KHADIME (8) won dominantly here last time and can measure up.

Racing first-up today. Finished off last preparation second of 9 at Flemington Silverbowl Fnl July 5 over 1600m, soft track; 1.5 len behind From A Distance with 54kg at $1.90. On debut second of 9 at this track Mdn-Sw May 8 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind South Hoba carrying 57.5kg at $2.20. Very progressive, she could be far too good.
