PAKENHAM SYNTHETIC   16 Jun 2025
 
GOING: G

Trusteel Fabrications Maiden Plate 1600m

Track: SYNTHETIC   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

A few sit handy but there won't be a great deal of early pressure. DURNESS (9) may be worth another chance having been heavily supported on debut at Geelong to start $2.30 favourite, not really firing there when finishing near the tail. Up in trip now and gets blinkers on, expecting she's a sharp improver for a top barn. TEAM HEIST (11) is going well without quite breaking through, coming back from 2000m to 1500m last start at Mornington and sticking on solidly for third. Maps for a nice run here and should take some beating. TASTE OF WINE (10) has been around the mark in four runs to date, perhaps not seeing out the 2088m at Moe last time. The form prior has her firmly in the mix. DESERT ROSE (8) ran a much improved race over this route second up and any further improvement has her as one of the hardest to beat. BROTHER QUICKIE (2) is the full brother to multiple G1 winner Mr Quickie who did enough fresh off a long spell and should be improved. SUGGESTED PLAY: Durness to win.
