Pakenham Synthetic Race 1 - Frankston Sand Soil & Mini Mix Mdn Plate
ACT NATURAL (1) failed to miss a place in four runs in the debut prep, so he'll be better for that and he's looked sharp in two recent jumpouts on the home track. ELSA OF ARENDELLE (8) is another who has shown a strong hand in a couple of trials and her only two runs last prep were both in town, the latter being in the G3 Ottawa Stks when beaten less than five lengths. Was scratched from Bendigo on Thursday to be saved for this. UNSNOOZUAL (2) will be better for the debut outing but meets some handy types here. BRUTAL WORLD (3) was also placed in each start in the debut prep and wasn't far from CATWALK ICON in a recent Flemington jumpout, so reluctant to dismiss. PARAK (6) should be ready for a peak after three runs back and ran well behind some handy types last start.

Having third race start. When well in the market at debut, 7th of 10 at Geelong 2yo Mdn-Sw on July 25 over 1150m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Redders with 58kg at $4. Second-up second last in a small field at Echuca 3yo Mdn-Sw on August 10 over 1300m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Options with 58kg at $6.50. Not far away last time but happy enough to avoid.

Filly by Ocean Park making her first appearance. Finished fifth in a Pakenham jump-out on August 12. Has shown something at the jumpouts, so keeping an eye on the market.
