PAKENHAM   19 Mar 2026
 
GOING: S(5)

Harris Automation Engineering Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit.  

Many of these step out for the first time so a genuine tempo is expected. SMOKE SCREEN (11) is knocking on the door with two minor placings this time in, beaten a head into third over 1000m at Caulfield Heath. Drawn low again, she'll have a strong fitness edge and take holding out. RADICAL DUDE (4) is a gelding by Farnan on debut for the Freedman yard. He looks to have good ability, having won his latest jumpout. Expect he takes beating. BEE ADMIRED (9) was well supported on debut last start and turned in a strong effort to finish second over 1100m at this track. Can roll forward from a middle gate and be in this for a long way. UNRIDDLE (2) has had a few chances but keeps racing well, again finding one better at Ballarat last time. He can figure again. MORNING RALPH (13) was well beaten on debut but can be an improver this time in. SUGGESTED PLAY: Smoke Screen to win.
