Moonlighting and Secret Beau possess good early speed. SECRET BEAU (1) will be the first runner for Joe Waldron since she relocated back to NZ from Victoria, and both of his career placings have been on the poly track at Pakenham, which should hold up well on this surface. A good draw helps, and he will be ready to run a big race off a freshen up. CELTIC BLING (6) has fought on gamely in his last couple of starts on a heavy turf track and has a good record on this poly surface. The blinkers are on, and with Michael McNab doing the riding, she will go close to taking this out. YAK SHA (2) has raced his way into some form again and seems to prefer a poly track. He has been trying to win for some time and would be an overdue winner. Each way. OUR SALLYANN (7) stuck to her task well enough to finish just out of the money recently. Dropping back to 1200m from 1400m is the key, and she can bounce back into the money here. FORSETI (8) was claimed late here from a wide gate last start, and will give another big sight in front from a better draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Secret Beau should kick the day off on the right note for punters.
