PAKENHAM SYNTHETIC   29 Jun 2026
 
GOING: G

Race Day Medical Handicap 1600m

Track: SYNTHETIC   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Bronte Beach and On Broadway will settle forward and can set a moderate tempo. BRONTE BEACH (4) made a great return on the turf track here last month when finishing third, then chased soundly into the same finish here last time. At her top now and draws the A1. Leading player. SAVEADATEFORME (3) settled a mile off them when resuming off a long break at Sandown-Hillside but did make some late inroads. Fitter now and is drawn kinder. Sharp improvement anticipated. LOVE SPARKLES (7) made the perfect return here two weeks ago when rounding them up to score over this trip. Gets weight relief with the rise in grade and can keep the ball rolling. ON BROADWAY (5) struggled to make an impression at Caulfield Heath last time when getting too far back but will find this easier fourth-up. Draws well for Neindorf and rises to a pet trip. Have to include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bronte Beach gets the nod.
