Pakenham Synthetic Race 3 - Hygain Edge Mdn Plate
INDEPENDANT LAD (8) looks the one to beat having made nice improvement at his second start at Wangaratta, closing off well for second. Better again and sets up nicely from the inside. YELLOWKNIFE (7) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1100m at Seymour. Was in the market there and can improve quickly. PRAGMATIC LADY (11) stepped out on her debut over 1000m at Ballarat Synthetic and finished fifth, beaten 1.75 lengths. To 1200m should suit and she can figure. SPIN CLASS (6) didn't fire in a stronger maiden on debut before a spell. Wouldn't shock to see improvement this time around.

Jumped at big odds at debut, ran last of 10 in a Mdn-Sw at Moe on July 21 over 1017m, on a wet track; 18 len behind Regal Vanguard carrying 57.5kg at $41. Better for that run but may need more time.

Resuming from a lengthy break. Only one run when sat behind the speed prior to fading 10th of 12 in a Mdn-Sw at Pakenham on February 5 over 1400m, 7 len behind Berlemont with 57.5kg at $21. Can be an improver this time around.

Second-up. First-up after five months ran last of 10 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Seymour on August 7 over 1100m, slow going 6 len behind Vella Longa with 56kg at $51. Previously second-up 4th of 10 in a Mm 2yo Classic at Murray Bridge on March 7 over 1100m, 5 len behind Rich On Bubbles carrying 55kg at $31. Looks tested on the first up effort.
