Racing Tips – Thursday Best Bets for Pakenham

It’s a big night of racing at Pakenham with the $300,000 Future Stars Final being the highlight of an eight race card. Our best bet comes from the Danny O’Brien stable.

Best Bet

4. Lafargue
Pakenham R6 (8.15pm)

Lafargue has a bit of class about him and looks very well placed in this set weights. Under a true handicap he should be conceding his rivals 3.5Kg here but instead he’s actually getting weight from some higher rated rivals. Expect him to get back but this track allows horses to run on.

Recommended Price: $5.50
Confidence Level: 4/5

8. Ezeiza
Pakenham R4 (7.15pm)

This is stronger than your garden variety 1000m BM64 but nevertheless Ezeiza should be considered a big chance. The filly has had one run for one good win at Bendigo back in December, running good overall time. From barrier one she will bounce on speed and get every chance here.

Recommended Price: $9.00
Confidence Level: 3/5

7. Attain
Pakenham R7 (8.45pm)

Attain looks the value in the Future Stars Final. The $300K race is made up of the winners and placegetters of several heats and while Attain didn’t win one, he ran exceptionally well in two, especially his most recent where he flew home to run second. From the in-form Robbie Laing stable, he can fly home late.

Recommended Price: $9.00
Confidence Level: 3/5
