PAKENHAM SYNTHETIC   04 Aug 2020
 
GOING: N

Sportsbet-Money Men Pod.-Bm58 1100m

Track: ALLWEATHER   Rain (Max: 6)    

A keen early battle headed by Unyielding and Flash Warning. COUNT OF CARFORD (4) returned from an eight-month spell with a pleasing 3rd over 1000m at this circuit, making a move before the corner and sticking on pretty well despite running out of condition late. Second up form is far better and the extra 100m suits perfectly. Yet to miss a top-three finish on the synthetic and that trend should continue. GOROKAN EXPRESS (14) chased hard despite laying in to be beaten just a length first-up over 1200m at Donald. Not a prolific winner but has placed 5/7 at today's journey. In the mix from the ideal gate. MAGIC PIPPA (12) was ridden more aggressively and returned to form with a game 2nd over 1200m here recently. Big chance with a similar effort today. All-weather specialist RUTH'S BOY (7) was strong at the end of 1000m here last start and can never be ruled out of this sort of race. SUGGESTED PLAY: #4 Count Of Carford ticks all the boxes.
