Pakenham Race 3 - Cookers Bulk Oil System Mdn Plate
HOLDING CAPTIVE (5) looks well placed off a most encouraging debut at Geelong, well supported there and just finding one narrowly better after leading for most of the race. He'll be better for that experience and the inside draw should see him straight to the top again. BLANKFIELD (3) resumes having placed in all four runs last campaign, showing good ability with a few close-up finishes. He can be an improver this time around and will take some beating fresh. BRAEMAR HILL (2) is a gelding by Earthlight who debuts for the Stokes yard. He's looked good at the jumpouts and has been met with early support on his home deck, very wary. JENNI POPPINS (10) is off a fairly long spell having run well on debut. Watch the market for a lead with her. ADIRA RIVER (9) resumes and could sneak into the minor money.

Resuming off ten months break after having had one race start. At debut last start 4th of 11 at Sale 2yo Mdn-Sw on June 25 over 1113m, on rain affected going; 4.5 len behind Lamassu with 56kg at $11. Had three recent trials to get fit for this. Last trial was second in a 950m barrier trial on April 9 at Traralgon. Capable of a bold return.
