Southside Racing will host an eight-race card at Pakenham on Thursday evening, with the first of those events scheduled to jump at 5:45pm AEDT. Warm and dry conditions are forecast throughout the day on Thursday, and the track is expected to remain in the Good 4 rating that was posted at acceptances. The rail will be in the +2m position for the entire circuit.
Best Bet at Pakenham: Kicking King
Kicking Kick will drop back in grade and distance after running second in the Listed Tasmanian Derby over 2200m at Hobart. The Thomas Carberry-trained gelding took off from the back of the field mid-race to find the front and lead the field into the home straight before being run over late by Likeakalix. John Allen has retained the ride on the son of Highland Reel, and with good speed expected in this contest, Kicking King can go one better with a similar effort.
Best Bet
Race 2 – 
#2 Kicking King (7)
3yo Gelding | T: Thomas Carberry | J: John Allen (59kg)
Next Best at Pakenham: Skelmorlie
Ben, Will & JD Hayes will be hoping Skelmorlie can break her maiden at start four after going very close at Bendigo over 1300m first up for the preparation. The daughter of Needs Further settled at the rear of the field and let down with a blistering turn of foot to finish second in a tight photo finish. The booking of Damian Lane, barrier three and a rise in trip to 1400m are all positives for Skelmorlie, who gets every chance to record her first win in this contest.
Next Best
Race 4 – 
#6 Skelmorlie (3)
4yo Mare | T: Ben, Will & JD Hayes | J: Damian Lane (57.5kg)
Best Value at Pakenham: Sharing Moments
Sharing Moments was heavily backed with horse racing bookmakers when the Scott Cameron-trained filly recorded her second straight placing of her short career at Ballarat. The daughter of Overshare jumped smartly from her barrier to find the front on a solid tempo, but was outsprinted in the final 300m and had to settle for second place. This race appears to lack speed influences, allowing Damian Lane and Sharing Moments to run the race to suit themselves and break through for a deserving win.
Best Value
Race 1 – 
#11 Sharing Moments (2)
3yo Filly | T: Scott Cameron | J: Damian Lane (56kg)
