The synthetic surface at Pakenham is scheduled to host an eight-race meeting on Monday afternoon, with competitive fields the theme of the day. A perfect winter day is forecast, so there should be no excuses for fancied runners throughout the day, as action commences at 1:30pm AEST.
Best Bet at Pakenham: Si Si Milano
Si Si Milano was a dominant Pakenham synthetic 1200m maiden winner on August 5 and as he steps up to the 1400m looks perfectly placed. The three-year-old son of Yes Yes Yes chased home the classy Blue Stratum on debut and clearly looks to be the horse with most upside. Barrier 13 is offset by his desire to get back and run on, and as long as Blake Shinn has him in clear air on the home turn, Si Si Milano should have no issue in overhauling his rivals late on.
Best Bet
Race 7 – 
#6 Si Si Milano (13)
3yo Gelding | T: Ben, Will & JD Hayes | J: Blake Shinn (59.5kg)

Next Best at Pakenham: Muktamil
It is last chance saloon for Muktamil as the eight-start maiden looks to finally breakthrough. The five-year-old gelding has been rolled at a short price at all four starts this campaign, but as he gets onto the synthetic, he looks well-placed to exert a bit of his class. He looks like a dour stayer, so the 2200m should be perfect for the son of Sea The Stars. Jamie Mott will have him in the moving line throughout from barrier five, and if Muktamil runs up to his recent form, he should prove too hard to hold out in the Pakenham opener.
Next Best
Race 1 – 
#5 Muktamil (5)
5yo Gelding | T: Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young | J: Jamie Mott (59.5kg)

Next Best Again at Pakenham: Signal
Despite Prinzerro being an odds-on favourite with horse racing bookmakers in the quaddie opener, Signal is a deadset synthetic specialist and can cause a minor upset. The Matt Laurie-trained runner returned from a five-month spell to win by three lengths on the Ballarat synthetic surface and can replicate that form at Pakenham. Ben Allen will have this guy settled outside the lead throughout, and with a bit of a tactical advantage over his key rival, Signal can bring up a fourth synthetic win from six starts.
Next Best Again
Race 5 – 
#2 Signal (7)
6yo Gelding | T: Matt Laurie | J: Ben Allen (60.5kg)
