PAKENHAM SYNTHETIC   29 Jun 2026
 
GOING: G

Beraldo Coffee Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: SYNTHETIC   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

A solid tempo is on the cards with Kiss The King and Astropartical pushing for the lead ahead of Bettylou Who and Vegas Missile. VEGAS MISSILE (11) was well fancied on debut last start and was not far off the mark, just missing the bob over this track and trip. Is sure to have come on from that and can go one better this time. Will just need some luck from the draw. ASTROPARTICAL (5) progressed nicely in her second out when finishing just behind Vegas Missile. Peaking now and can get off the mark. DIVERGENT (13) failed to fire a shot on debut at Moe but has since gone back to the jumpouts where she's looked much improved. Gets the blinkers applied and keep Neindorf from the trial. Sharp improvement anticipated. KISS THE KING (7) resumes. Didn't make much of an impression on debut back in January when well supported but looks to have com on nicely during the break assessing her recent jumpouts. Drawn sticky but is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Vegas Missile to win.
