Pakenham Synthetic Race 4 - Duffy & Simon Lawyers Mdn Plate
Tough race to sort out with a number of these having already had more than their fair share of chances. GRASSY SPUR (3) does look one of the more progressive types in this race, though, and he only needs to run up to the last start performance, when narrowly beaten, to be right in the finish. CUBAN DAWN (2) was well-held by GRASSY SPUR last time out but that was his first try at this trip, when jumping up from 1600m, so you'd expect he'll take great improvement from that. MARLIN (4) wasn't sighted at the first two runs back but wasn't beaten all that far last time and is even better suited at this trip. PHOENICIAN (6) rarely runs poorly and is a must for exotics. PRIDE OF PARIAH (7) wasn't too far behind CUBAN DAWN last start so if you concede that galloper a chance, you've got to give PRIDE OF PARIAH some chance.

At the latest run settled back and ran on when 5th of 9 at this track Mdn-Sw on August 18 over 2200m, 4 len behind Larryoctane with 59.5kg at $26. The race before that 8th of 10 at Sale Mdn-Sw on July 31 over 2238m, slow going 18 len behind Izola carrying 59.5kg at $31. Comes into this in ordinary form. Hard to see his poor record changing today so preferring others.
