PAKENHAM   18 Apr 2024
 
GOING: S

G'Day Ink Tattoo Studio Pakenham 0-64 Handicap 1600m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 4m Entire Circuit.  

Genuine tempo expected from Vegas On Fire leading Worcester. WORCESTER (3) was heavily supported and got on the board with an impressive all-the-way win at Bendigo last time. This is tougher but he looks well suited. Should go close. VEGAS ON FIRE (7) came off a break with a pleasing effort here first-up. Is going to strip fitter and is a winner here. Expect a forward showing. GOING NUCLEAR (1) got the maiden win at Cranbourne last time when resuming. Is going to strip fitter for the outing and should be one of the main chances. SAVEADATEFORME (5) got back but hit the line strongly first-up at Geelong at first run for new stable. Strips fitter this time and must be included in the hopes. SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Worcester to win.
