Pakenham Race 5 - Mittys Hcp (C1)
JARBARDAR (1) can bounce back here. He ran second to Threads at Caulfield two back, which is good form, before struggling in a very fast G3 Blue Sapphire last start. Way back in grade now, and he looks far better placed. IN A TIZZY (6) is the main danger after winning a maiden at Cranbourne and then running third at this track in a BM62, beaten just over a length as a well-supported favourite. Profiles nicely. AUTUMN RAINBOW (10) brings the Listed Hill Smith Stakes form, where she was sixth to Kosaji after beginning awkwardly, and did win well this trip prior. Back in trip now but has the talent. GAZERATI (2) was second to Fast Freddie at Bendigo first-up despite being slow away and racing wide. That form looks solid, and he should improve. BALANCE (3) is mixing form, but her best is good enough.

Comes back from the G3 Blue Sapphire Stakes, where he finished second last behind Marffiano after racing wide outside the leader and offered little late. His Caulfield second to Threads start prior in a Quality, beaten just under a length, reads much better for this Class 1. First try at 1400m, but third-up he gets his chance to bounce back.

Placed first-up at Bendigo in a BM62, beaten two lengths by Fast Freddie after beginning slowly, racing keenly and covering ground. That was only country company and this is a harder meeting, but his earlier fourth in Open grade at Sandown-Hillside at long odds gives the form some depth. Harder meeting now, but he can improve and has claims.

Was disappointing at Sale last start in a BM70, finishing last behind Electric Elvis and beaten over 13 lengths on heavy ground with no clear excuse. The start prior was far better when beaten a neck by Neziha on the Pakenham Synthetic as favourite. Can bounce back here.

Resumed with a poor Ballarat run in a BM62, finishing last behind Vim Vitae and beaten over 15 lengths after missing the start and doing little late on heavy ground. His previous Bendigo effort was also plain when unwanted in the market. Has 1400m form, but current figures leave him with plenty to find.

Returns from a lengthy spell after eight months away, with four trials since last racing giving him some grounding. He was third at Sandown-Hillside at his final run before the break in a BM70 over 3000m, beaten six and a half lengths after tiring late, and had earlier been safely held at this venue. Track record offers some hope, but resuming over 1400m looks a tough task.

Has returned in good order, winning a Mdn at Cranbourne by a length and a half before running third at this track in a BM62, beaten just over a length by Bardia's Dream as a well-supported favourite. She has already placed at around 1400m and is third-up for a leading stable, with Damian Lane taking over. Third-up, proven at the trip and Damian Lane goes on; she looks a major winning chance.

Broke through at this track last start, beating Voltrix by a head in a Mdn on soft ground after travelling well into the race. That followed a solid Seymour second to Valaroso when an outside chance in betting, and his overall record of one win and four places from six starts shows consistency. First try around 1400m is the query, but barrier one keeps him in the mix.

Was sixth at Geelong first-up in a BM66, beaten just under six lengths as a well-supported favourite, and the run offered no obvious excuse. Her Sandown-Hillside eighth before a break in F BM78 grade was also a fading effort after leading. Possible improver up on speed.

Resumes after four months off, with mixed Cranbourne trials and an earlier placing hinting there may be more to come. He ended last campaign with two beaten-favourite runs on the Pakenham Synthetic, the latest a sixth behind Titan Of Choice after racing wide throughout. Drawn for a soft run and can run well fresh.

Drops sharply from the Listed Hill Smith Stakes, where she was sixth behind Kosaji and beaten just under four lengths after beginning awkwardly and racing keenly. Her win start prior over this trip on the Pakenham Synthetic, beating Tuzemak as favourite, is the key pointer for this. Respecting from Listed company, down in trip the little niggle.
