PAKENHAM SYNTHETIC   30 Jun 2025
 
GOING: N

Gippsland Premium Quarries BM58 Handicap 1200m

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

Expecting Brutalina to lead Gator at just a moderate tempo. GATOR (4) comes into this off the back of three-straight wins, most recently 29 days back in 0 - 58 grade at Moe. Finds another suitable race today and can be winning again. BRUTALINA (10) has been ticking over nicely this campaign, finishing 3rd at Seymour most recently. Shouldn't find things any harder here. Stick with. RANAKYE (5) put the writing on the wall when only 1.3 len off resuming at Ballarat, and looks ready to pounce today with extra fitness under the saddle. FIRE TRIBE (3) has been kept fresh for this and has the ratings to take this one out. TERESPRIT (11) couldn't back up at the second run of the campaign last start over 1200m at Seymour after winning two back at Geelong. Can bounce right back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Gator on top.
