Pakenham Racecourse hosts yet another Thursday night meeting this week. With scorching temperatures in the leadup and a warm forecast for race day, the early Good 4 track rating will likely be upgraded to a Good 3 at some point. The rail will be out 3m for the entire circuit, with the action getting underway at 5:45pm AEDT.
Best Bet at Pakenham: Proved
The Enver Jusufovic-trained Proved returns from a short eight-week let-up and looks poised to continue her undefeated start to her career. The Time Test mare is a natural front-runner and has drawn perfectly for her return from barrier one. Carleen Hefel will have no issue holding the rail in the field of seven, and if she can get an easy time of it over the 1000m, Proved should be good enough to justify her favouritism with Blondebet.
Best Bet
Race 2 – 
#3 Proved (1)
4yo Mare | T: Enver Jusufovic | J: Carleen Hefel (60kg)
Next Best at Pakenham: Stay Silent
Stay Silent returns to Melbourne after an eye-catching run in a $250,000 maiden on the Sunshine Coast, where he produced the quickest final 200m over the 1400m. The three-year-old gelding was beaten 2.8 lengths but was making up good ground on the back of a genuine tempo. Pakenham looks like it will suit the son of Deep Field perfectly, and from barrier eight, Ben Allen should have a back to follow when the whips are cracking.
Next Best
Race 6 – 
#6 Stay Silent (8)
3yo Gelding | T: Leon, Troy & Will Corstens | J: Ben Allen (59kg)
Best Value at Pakenham: Champagne Jenni
Champagne Jenni is set to resume from a four-month spell, and if she produces anything like what she did in her first campaign, she presents great value with horse racing betting sites. The three-year-old filly raced without much luck during her two starts in the spring but continued to hit the line strongly. Craig Newitt will have the National Defense filly towards the rear of the field, but with a well-timed sprint, Champagne Jenni has the ability to overhaul her rivals.
Best Value
Race 4 – 
#9 Champagne Jenni (12)
3yo Filly | T: Alexander Rae | J: Craig Newitt (57kg)
