PAKENHAM   15 May 2026
 
GOING: S(6)

Ray White Pakenham & Officer Handicap 2000m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

A solid tempo is anticipated with Winston and Patsy's Star kicking up to hold out the next wave. Open race. ALL SO CLEAR (1) has been a model of consistency without winning lately, again in the minor placings last start at Ballarat when working home well for third. Comes back a notch in grade here and any sting out would also help his cause. Doubt he's far away again here. CYCLONE HARMONY (8) was a smart winner two back at Sale, okay in a slowly run race last time at Caulfield Heath. He should be poking through late. ARISTONOUS (6) has been good in two runs back and should be ready to peak now. His best form in a previous life would win this and the new camp might be slowly getting him back there. MAHERS LANDING (13) put in a better effort when just missing at Cranbourne over 1600m. He's bred to run a trip so getting to 2000m for the first time could see a new peak incoming. WINSTON (7) has been fair in two runs back but can improve now. SUGGESTED PLAY: All So Clear on top.
