Pakenham Race 1 - Bunyip Equipment Vobis Silver
We kick off Pakenham Cup day with a tricky 2yo race - most on debut. BRIGHT STAR (6) goes on top for the Begg yard. She's a filly by Lucky Vega who looked to jump out very well at Cranbourne recently, strong to the line there. Respecting the top stable who should have her ready to go. MILSONS POINT (2) is a colt by Blue Point on debut for the Maher yard in the Godolphin blue. He found the line well in a recent jumpout when seemingly having more to offer. Drawn nicely and looks ready to go. NEOTROPICAL (8) is a filly by first-season sire Captivant who looked good winning a recent jumpout and looks to have some speed. Respecting. TAG THE BRIDE (9) is a Tagaloa filly for the Sadler yard who has also won a jumpout and has some ability. FINE SIERRA (7) next best for the local yard.

Colt by Blue Point facing the starter for the first time. Was runner-up in a jump-out at Cranbourne on December 1. Looks to have ability, don't discount.

Was at big odds at debut, 11th of 13 at Caulfield in the LR M Cooper on November 29 over 1000m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Eternal Warrior carrying 56kg at $31. Can improve but would've liked to see more on debut.
