Pakenham Synthetic Race 1 - John Duff & Co Mdn Plate
Tough race where not many would surprise. Leaning to RAMBLING (5) for the Price & Kent Jnr yard. She's a well bred daughter of Zoustar who did enough fresh at Seymour over 1100m, boxing on for fourth there. Strips fitter and gets a hot Ben Allen aboard for Monday racing. MADAM GRISELDA (4) has been around the mark this time in, not beaten far in a bunched finish at Cranbourne last time out. She'll have no issue with this trip whereas a couple of others are yet to be tested at it. LUMOSITY (3) was good here second up over 1200m when sticking on for third. Needs to extend to 1400m but that should be okay and she'll be fitter again. LENNYSTAR (2) is a speedy type who can roll forward here off a good run at Geelong. Should take catching. THINK HARD (8) can run well fresh, watch the market.

Had two starts to date. At very big odds at debut, second last of 8 at Pakenham 3yo F Mdn-Sw on May 15 over 1100m, 9 len behind Tuscaloosa Gem carrying 57kg at $201. Second-up sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 9 at Bendigo F&M Mdn-Sw on May 30 over 1300m, 5 len behind Just Jenni with 58kg at $101. Can't see her breaking through for the maiden win this time.

Third-up today. Resuming sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 7 at Cranbourne Mdn-Sw on May 16 over 1000m, 4.5 len behind Central Bank carrying 56kg at $9.50. Last start led but faded 3rd of 8 at this track Mdn-Sw on June 2 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Whodareswins carrying 57.5kg at $5.50. Fitter now and making headway. Heading the right way and gets her chance to get off the mark.
