What Pakenham Synthetic Races
Where Pakenham Racing Club – 420 Nar Nar Goon–Longwarry Rd, Tynong VIC 3813
When Friday, August 26, 2022
First Race 12:25pm AEST

Pakenham is set to host its last meeting of the synthetic season on Friday afternoon, when nine races are set to be run and won. It has been hard to lead throughout at Pakenham, so looking for runners who will settle off the speed could be the key to making profit for the meeting. Proceedings are set to get underway at 12:25pm AEST.

PAKENHAM BEST BET: Poiema

Having finished second at both starts this campaign, the Mike Moroney-trained Poiema looks a clear best bet on the Pakenham card. The three-year-old was a good thing beaten last time out when running into more traffic than peak hour in Sydney in the home straight. The Territories filly has taken a liking to the Ballarat synthetic, and despite this being her first go on the Pakenham all-weather track, she looks like a horse that will handle the conditions with aplomb. From barrier 13, look for the in-form Blaike McDougall to have Poiema settled in the moving line with cover, where he can then let the filly build through her gears under her own steam. She is armed with a nice turn of foot and, with a bit of luck, should have a bit too much polish for the rest of her rivals.

NEXT BEST AT PAKENHAM: The Ballet Dancer

In the final race of the day, the Ben & JD Hayes-trained The Ballet Dancer will be pushing to make it three wins from as many starts at the Pakenham synthetic 1600m. The four-year-old mare has been low-flying in recent times on the synthetic having won her last two at this track and trip, while she placed at 1400m on this track three starts back. She has been one that has countered the theory of on-pace runners struggling on this surface, doing so last start when settling second and holding a one-length margin on the winning post. From barrier 14, Robbie Downey should be looking to have her settled in a similar spot this time around. With a bit of luck we can get a nice price from online bookmakers about The Ballet Dancer, as she looks a great bet in the last.

PAKENHAM VALUE BET: Treotto

Coming to this 1000m maiden in the opener is the Mick Kent-trained Treotto fresh off a smart win at the trials at Cranbourne on August 9. The lightly raced four-year-old gelding has had just two starts in his career and is yet to show us what he is really made of. The son of Sooboog chased home Nice For What on debut when beaten by two lengths and then had plenty of excuses at his second start when travelling wide the trip while racing up on speed. From barrier 15, Jackie Beriman will look to have Treotto settled either outside the leader or in the one-one, and if she is able to gain that cover, a win is not out of the question. Treotto showed at the trials that he could be a horse who can work his way through the grades this campaign.
