PAKENHAM SYNTHETIC   24 Jun 2024
 
GOING: N

Harris Automation Engineering Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: SYNTHETIC   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

A strong tempo assured with Mexican Fiddler and No Outcast leading the charge. MARAVICH (4) has placed in both runs this time in and looks nicely placed to peak here. He's been beaten under a length at both starts, the latest over this trip on heavy ground at Ballarat when second. He maps ideally from barrier three here with Currie sticking. Clear top pick. SPECIAL DANCER (11) looks a clear danger. Two runs in have been good, starting $1.80 second up at this track when third. Drawn awkwardly but with even luck can repay the faith. LINKIT (2) was okay first up at Mornington and will strip fitter from the inside draw. Solid each way hope. MADE THE EFFORT (10) is a 12-start maiden who is coming off a solid placing at Sandown Lakeside. That reads well. MEXICAN FIDDLER (5) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Maravich to win.
