Here is the predicted track pattern and Best Bet for Pakenham’s meeting on Thursday night.
TRACK
Good 4
TRACKWALKER INFO
Lanes 1,2 slightly inferior to Lanes 3,4 with Lanes 5,6 better again. You can still lead and win down near the rail but there is some advantage to getting cover in the run and peeling at least 3 wide into the straight to make your run. Typical Pakenham.
FAST LANE
Champion hoop Damian Lane has a liking for big tracks with long straights. He’s a patient rider and the evidence of that can be seen with his stats at Pakenham. Over the past 12 months, Lane has won more races at Pakenham than any track in the land and he’s done it at the brilliant strike rate of 28%. Be wary though, he’s showing a very small loss on turnover suggesting most of his rides start short in the market.
BARRIERS
1200m or less – Chute start with one turn into the straight
NIC ASHMAN TIP 8.15pm
Race 6 No.2 EL SOLEADO $4.25
“Ran the best last 200m of the meeting 1UP and the step up to 1400m will suit perfectly ”
