PAKENHAM   18 Oct 2024
 
GOING: S(7)

Bridgestone Select Pakenham Maiden Plate (Chute) 1200m

Track: SOFT7   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Reasonable tempo with Rose Of England probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. STOLEN ART (4) has raced twice to date, good on debut at Tatura when working home to grab second before boxing on well behind a handy type at Ballarat when a narrow fourth. He'll be better for that and maps for a soft run. ROYAL INSIGNIA (10) resumes having been well beaten on debut at Bendigo, but it's worth noting he started at $3.80 there and did plenty wrong. Expecting the Begg stable to have improved him over the break. DIVINO CAVALLO (6) is a well-bred mare by Pierro on debut. She's trialled nicely and won a jump out leading in, expecting she runs a big race. LOVE BY STRAAND (12) might be an improver. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stolen Art each-way.
