Racing Tips – Thursday Best Bets for Pakenham

Racing is at Pakenham on Thursday on a track rated good. Our best bet produced a huge run at Bendigo last start.

Best Bet

5. Onlygoldwilldo
Pakenham R2 (2.00pm)

You don’t see many more impressive debuts without winning that Onlygoldwilldo produced at Bendigo. The colt was slowly away, attempted to buck, got back to last and then absolutely stormed home. In one more stride he would have won. Clearly he still does some things wrong, but he looks to have a stack of ability.

Recommended Price: $2.50
Confidence Level: 4/5

8. Big Jimma
Pakenham R1 (1.30pm)

Big Jimma gets his chance to break through here. The son of Dundeel ran a much improved race last time at Moonee Valley but just wasn’t suited by the slow tempo. The bigger track here should be ideal for him and he can hopefully sit a little closer in the run.

Recommended Price: $3.50
Confidence Level: 4/5


3. Esseffninety
Pakenham R5 (3.30pm)

Esseffninety is lightly raced and has real talent. The three year old won his maiden well two starts back at Cranbourne before running on well last time at Seymour. Both of those runs were over 1000m, the extra 200m looks ideal here. Booking of Blake Shinn is a big positive also.

Recommended Price: $5.50
Confidence Level: 3/5


11. Cavallo Rampante
Pakenham R6 (4.00pm)

Cavallo Rampante has a brilliant turn of foot on her day and can win again. She’s had no luck in either of her last two runs and getting back to 1000m on a big track where she can show her turn of foot is an ideal scenario. Just needs things to unfold early and she should be winning.

Recommended Price: $2.50
Confidence Level: 4/5
