Pakenham Synthetic Race 5 - Ray White Pakenham & Officer Mdn Plate
BUTTERSCOTCH (7) closed last campaign with three consecutive minor placings and is back today after a break of four-and-a-half months. Profiles well for this and should be an improver for strong connections, hard to hold out. THOMMO (11) is a nicely bred two-year-old gelding by Proisir who debuts for the Price & Kent Jnr yard. This trip should suit first time out and Williams goes on from an ideal gate. SOUNDWAVE (4) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at this track over 1400m, beaten 1.3 lengths. Should be at his peak now and is a big hope. CASUAL GHAI (1) resumes from a spell of eight months and did run well fresh last time in, trialled well over this trip recently and might be wound up, watch the betting.
