PAKENHAM SYNTHETIC   23 Jun 2025
 
GOING: G

Sportsbet Green Tick BM58 Handicap 2200m

Track: SYNTHETIC   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Eight Under to take up the running with Real Alliance and Spirit Angel close at hand. A few chances here. EIGHT UNDER (1) is racing in fine form of late, winning two in a row before another sound effort in BM64 grade at Ballarat Synthetic last time out. Only needs to hold that form to be going close. WEST INDIES (2) struggled last start at Bendigo but had been going well prior. The fourth placing at Flemington in the St Leger reads well for this. MANDARA SUN (7) was a winner in this grade at Sale two back before another sound effort at Echuca. Should appreciate the rise in trip now and will be hard to hold out. WIN ELEGANCE (9) is likely to get back but is going well enough to figure. SUGGESTED PLAY: Eight Under the one.
