Racing Tips – Thursday Night Best Bets for Pakenham

Racing is back at Pakenham on Thursday night for an eight race card, the first of which jumps at 5.15pm.

Best Bet

1. Il Cubo
Pakenham R6 (7.45pm)

Il Cubo drops in class from a very strong Saturday three year old race at Caulfield and looks the one to beat here. The lightly raced three year old from the Price/Kent stable was slowly away there but with a cleaner break is certainly capable of racing on the speed. Looks a nice race for him.

Recommended Price: $3.00
Confidence Level: 4/5


More Racing Tips

1. Almighty Jab
Pakenham R1 (5.15pm)

Almighty Jab has improved nicely at both starts and presents as a strong winning chance here at double figure odds. He should have finished much closer here last time and draws to get an ideal run on speed. Great each way play.

Recommended Price: $9.00/3.00
Confidence Level: 3/5


1. Buzz City
Pakenham R2 (5.45pm)

Buzz City has three placings from as many starts and should be able to break through here at Pakenham. He’s not had much luck in any of those and there was a huge margin back to third in his most recent run at Kyneton. Blake Shinn takes the ride for Anthony and Sam Freedman.

Recommended Price: $3.00
Confidence Level: 4/5


11. Brave Miss
Pakenham R8 (8.45pm)

Brave Miss was a spectacular winner first up at Werribee. While the filly admittedly had a good run in the race, when she finally got clear she showed an impressive turn of foot to run away and win by an ever increasing six and a half length margin. This race is a step up but one she looks capable of making.

Recommended Price: $4.00
Confidence Level: 3.5/5
