Pakenham Synthetic Race 5 - Sportsbet Photo Finish Refund (Bm64)
Several win chances but no-one deserves a win like ABSOLUTE SUNSHINE (2). Has placed at all four this campaign, the latest on the synthetic at Ballarat in a similar race. Record at the trip is awful, but seemingly in career best form at the moment and gets chance to break through. OUR SASSY LADY (6) returned at the Bool over their carnival in a tougher race and was disappointing after being well in the market. This far easier and the extra trip a plus. Could well atone. SUPER SOLAR (1) ran on well to just miss two back then broke through this class last time. Kept fresh and should feature again. SINISTER SAUCE (8) is another overdue for a win. Best form is at this trip and attractively weighted. NEW YORK SCANDAL (5) turned in a nice run over a mile two back then dropped back to a sprint at Flemington and was outsped and outclassed. This far more suitable and can bounce back.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 31 day let-up. Most recently favourite; won by a neck at Wangaratta Bm64 May 2 over 1590m defeating Pat's Bro carrying 57kg at $2.70. The run before that ran on strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 9 at Benalla Bm64 on April 14 over 1606m, 1.75 len behind Iluvcoffee carrying 57kg at $3.60. Draws well and another big run is in store.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Ballarat Synthetic Bm64 on May 22 over 1500m, 0.8 len behind Surely Special with 58kg at $3.30. Before that 3rd of 8 at Benalla Bm58 on April 14 over 1406m, 5 len behind Biden Time carrying 59.5kg at $3.30. Placed all four this campaign and deserves a win.

At the latest run second last of 12 at Flemington F&M Bm78 on May 17 over 1200m, slow going 7 len behind Star Sirius with 54kg at $81. The run before that 4th of 13 at Ararat Bm58 on May 10 over 1600m, 0.5 len behind Sevillana carrying 60kg at $3.20. This far easier and back to a mile can hit the frame with the right run.

Second-up. First-up after five months 8th of 12 at Warrnambool F&M Bm70 on May 1 over 1400m, slow going 5.5 len behind Dubai Dancer with 56kg at $4.40.

Comes here off a 30-day let-up. Most recently raced on the speed throughout before fading 8th of 14 at Donald Bm52 on May 3 over 1620m, 5.5 len behind Khant Bee with 54kg at $41. The race before that scored a big 4 len win at Swift's Creek Pic-Trpy April 20 over 1600m defeating Popeye The Sailor carrying 63kg at $6.50. Happy to overlook.
