PAKENHAM   19 Mar 2026
 
GOING: S(5)

Pakenham GWM Grand Opening Maiden Plate 1000m

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. INVINCIBLE LOVER (7) gets her chance. She's having her fifth run in her maiden campaign but is knocking on the door, just finding one better at her past couple. She was beaten a nose last time and won't need to improve much at all to be getting the job done. MISS DECEIVER (10) resumes for her second campaign having shown ability last time in. She's jumped out well and can roll forward here. GALINDO (4) is a filly by Dirty Work on debut for the Carey & Walker yard. She led and won by a big space in a recent jumpout and Lane booked is a good sign. Wary. KOKESHI (8) raced on the speed when resuming last start and finished second, beaten half a length, over 1100m at this track. Fitter and can go one better. GATTINO VELOCE (5) was okay fresh and can improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Invincible Lover to win.
