PAKENHAM   07 Nov 2025
 
GOING: S

The Valley @ Southside Pakenham Plate 1600m

Track: HVY8   Rain (Max: 28)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Without a designated pacemaker it will probably turn into a dash home. GOOD HARMONY (7) made nice improvement at her second start here when running on well for a narrow second from a wide gate, beaten under a length as a $2.60 chance. Shaped as if the mile would be right up her alley there and she draws beautifully too. JOHNICH (4) ran a good race on debut at Mornington, finding the line strongly for second after getting back in the field. He'll be better for that and the big track here should suit. SQUARE DEAL (2) made improvement second up at Mornington and should be fitter again with each way claims from an ideal draw. TENSILE (3) struggled last time but could bounce back and sneak a placing. SUGGESTED PLAY: Good Harmony to win.
