Pakenham Synthetic Race 3 - Shanks Electrical Mdn Plate
LEAVING LAS VEGAS (4) will never find a more suitable race to register what has proven an elusive first win with the scratching of SETHEUS, who looked the only danger. Hard to be too confident about one that has six second placings from seven starts, especially when you've got to take long-odds-on, but many of those races have been stronger races than this. MIDNIGHT IN MINORI (9) should be nearing peak fitness now after three runs back. Likewise, CELESTIAL OPTION (2), who draws well. NIKEPHOROS (5) will be better for the first-up run is suited up in trip. ATTACK FORCE (1) stepped out in two strong maidens in summer and has jumped out well enough in preparation for the return to suggest he's a major player for one of the minor positions.
