Pakenham Race 1 - Ladbrokes Big Bets Copy Now Mdn Plate
WONDERFUL SKY (12) ran well to miss a whisker this track/trip on debut. Draws inside, and Ethan Brown is a positive jockey engagement. She will have come on from that and will prove hard to beat. FORBIDDEN DESIRE (4) resumes and comes off a 3.3L defeat in the Merson Cooper Stakes at Caulfield on debut. She led in that and has won a recent metro jumpout. Jamie Melham's booking suggests she's pleasing, and she has the early speed to manage the awkward barrier. ICELADY (13) debuted in the WONDERFUL SKY race, beaten 1.5L. Was expected that she would need it, and she will have taken fitness and learning. Maps for the run of the race, and she has each-way claims. On what we've seen in the leadups, the debutants look a handy bunch. UNFAILING TRUTH (9), CHARLESTON LANE (3) and CAPTION THIS (2) may be the best of them. The race-day betting will provide a handy guide to their relative chances.
