PAKENHAM SYNTHETIC   01 Jul 2024
 
GOING: N

Precision Mechanical Services BM70 Handicap 1400m

Track: SYNTHETIC   Clouds (Max: 11)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Strong early tempo with Bullet Wing and Apache Star to lead the way over Lady Tino and Slate. TRUFFLE FINDER (8) is a handy type who won well two back as an odds-on favourite at Cranbourne over another handy type in Rackemann. He was okay last start at Sandown-Hillside when midfield and should find this a touch easier. GIN O'CLOCK (3) stepped up to 1500m second up at Geelong and won narrowly. He should only be fitter and should be hard to hold out again. FIASCO TESS (7) won well two back at Mornington and tried hard over this trip at Caulfield last time out. Suited here. APACHE STAR (2) resumes and has a good record over this trip. Strong each way hope. QUEEN OF TUSCANY (10) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Truffle Finder to win.
