PAKENHAM SYNTHETIC   30 Jun 2025
 
GOING: N

BetaVet Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: Synthetic   Clouds (Max: 12)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Polar Opposite should lead at a slick tempo. DECCAN ODYSSEY (3) was very sound resuming when beaten less than a length at Launceston last time. Looks ready to win now. BJARNE (1) rates well on what we've seen from him so far this prep and looks an each-way hope today. LITTLE BIGHORN (4) resumes after contesting some strong maidens in debut prep and looks better placed today. Can feature. SHEZADENTE (10) solid effort last start, beaten 1.5 lengths into second over 1200m at Mornington. Well placed to give this a shake. CARTIER ISLAND (7) will be rock-hard fit now following a nice effort at Moe last start when fourth. Should be peaking now and is ready to show what she can do. SUGGESTED PLAY: Deccan Odyssey can win this.
