Pakenham is the destination for the sole horse racing meeting in Victoria on Thursday, with an eight-race meeting set down for decision. Showers are forecast on Thursday afternoon, yet the track is not expected to deteriorate too much from its early Good 4 rating. The rail will return to its true position, with the opening event set to jump at 5:45pm AEDT.
Best Bet at Pakenham: Leonchroi
Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) are set to cut the ribbons on three-year-old gelding Leonchroi, who comes to the Pakenham opener on the back of an eye-catching jumpout victory at Cranbourne. The Contributer gelding showed a strong turn of foot under hands and heels along the rail, and the draw in barrier one for his debut looks ideal. With Damian Lane on board, Leonchroi looks the likely leader and should prove too slick.

Race 1 – 
#8 Leonchroi (1)

Next Best at Pakenham: Untapped
Untapped could not have been more impressive when breaking maiden ranks fresh from a spell at the Pakenham 1200m on January 10. The son of Foxwedge settled midfield and produced a strong finish to score by 2.3 lengths with plenty left in reserve. The step up to 1400m looks ideal, and if Zac Spain can lob him in a similar position from barrier eight, Untapped should be winning again.

Best Value at Pakenham: Sweet As A Kiss
With a bit of luck, punters should get an each-way price with horse racing bookmakers on Sweet As A Kiss after she savaged the line in her second career start at Mornington. Having settled at the rear of the six-horse field, the Vino Rosso filly quickened sharply to be beaten under a length. The straight at Pakenham should suit her better than Mornington’s did, and if she produces a similar finish, Sweet As A Kiss will be fighting it out at the end.

#12 Sweet As A Kiss (13)
