PAKENHAM SYNTHETIC   30 Jun 2025
 
GOING: N

Unox Casa BM70 Handicap 1600m

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

Reasonable tempo with Reset The Jazz probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. Almost impossible way to finish, and more than half the field could take this out. MUSGRAVE (4) drops back a shade in trip and comes here off a 29-day let up. Rates very very well on recent form, and could prove too good. QUEEN OF TUSCANY (9) was only a length away at Sandown latest, and this doesn't look to be any harder. Strong winning chance. RESET THE JAZZ (1) has been kept fresh for this, and drops back a way in grade. One to keep safe. LENSMAN (10) handy galloper back in winning form last start over 1400m at this track. Can go on with it here. DOCINTHE (7) and MAKALU (8) warrant consideration too. SUGGESTED PLAY: Musgrave for the win in a very tricky race.
