PAKENHAM SYNTHETIC   01 Jul 2024
 
GOING: N

Drouin & District Community Bank Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: SYNTHETIC   Clouds (Max: 11)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Reasonable tempo with Uptown Boy probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. TAUNG (12) wasn't beaten far first up at Swan Hill in a rich Vobis race, only 2.5 lengths off the winner. He showed a bit of ability in one run last time in when third at Geelong and this suits. HOFF IS ENUFF (5) has had three starts to date, placing in two. He was good last start at Bendigo over 1300m and looks to get a good run from barrier four. Should prove tough to beat. MIZEN (7) was just fair here last time over 1600m but the run prior at Ballarat Synthetic was good. PAULARTES (10) is in the mix with BURJ EMPEROR (3). SUGGESTED PLAY: Taung to win.
