PAKENHAM SYNTHETIC   22 Jun 2026
 
GOING: U

Bunyip Equipment Handicap 1200m

Track: SYNTHETIC   Rain (Max: 12)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Battle Of The Ice, Noble Style and Firerated can set a strong tempo. PRAVAHA (9) is sparingly raced coming off a tidy maiden win at Swan Hill having worked home well first up in a strong maiden. Finds another suitable race and should take holding out again. THAT'SMONEYBROTHER (3) has been freshened since finishing 4.5 lengths away in tenth over 1208m at Sale. Form prior reads well, he can bounce back. BATTLE OF THE ICE (1) finished 4 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1462m at Kilmore last start after a solid run first up at Geelong. Tricky draw but should go well. NOBLE STYLE (10) finished fourth over 1200m at Mildura when resuming last start, beaten only 0.7 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Fitter and can give some cheek. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pravaha to win.
