PAKENHAM   05 Mar 2026
 
GOING: S(5)

Beraldo Coffee Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 26)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Plenty of pressure from On The Loose, Zamparini Spirit and Tornado Anwa battling for the lead over Parera. IRREVERENT (11) missed a nose in a future stars series heat at Pakenham three weeks ago. That followed a near miss at Sandown-Hillside first-up. She has more to give and appeals most. ON THE LOOSE (9) had been well-educated and finished third on debut and also went close in a future star heat at Pakenham. Is sure to have taken benefit and has been kept on the fresh side. Tough to peg back. COSTA PAROS (4) races forward and brings placings from Cranbourne. The gate is awkward and he may not have the immediate upside of the pair above. He's a hope regardless. ZOUDEADLY (13) finds a bit tougher, but there was a lot to like about his Werribee placing fourth-up. He'll be hitting the line well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Irreverent to win.
