Races MR Pakenham

Sent forward and gave backers a sight before weakening into fifth 1.1L at Apiam Bendigo Bm70 over 1600m. Tried to sustain a long run on the pace but dropped out sharply 6.9L at Morphettville Bm74 over 1600m Soft 7. Likely to benefit from the drop in grade.

Created own luck going forward but couldn't sustain that run late 4L at Sportsbet Sandown Hillside Bm64 over 2400m. Trailed handy to the leaders, pushed along but run petered out for fifth 6L at Sportsbet Sandown Hillside Bm70 over 3000m Soft 5.

Raced behind the leaders and ran on nicely for the runner-up spot 1.5L at Mornington Bm64 over 1500m Soft 5. Applied pressure to the leader but was under the pump to hold position 5.8L at Pakenham 0 - 64 over 1600m Soft 7.

Held spot to the line for fifth and never a winning chance 6.2L at Pakenham Bm64 over 1600m Soft 5. Liked the way it got home into sixth after being in an impossible settling position 7.3L at Sale Bm64 over 1717m.

Slow out back half, made late ground but no threat 3.6L at Sportsbet Sandown Hillside C,G&E Bm64 over 1300m. Midfield with the leaders in sight however had little to show in the finish 5.3L at Mornington Bm58 over 1500m. Can't underestimate at this track/distance.

Got going late into sixth place after needing a binoculars to find it at the 400m 5.8L at Bairnsdale Bm58 over 1600m. Just off the speed to contend but was easily defeated once asked for the effort 7.9L at Sale Bm64 over 1728m.

Came from well back with a scintillating run to win narrowly 0.8L at Sale Mdn-Sw over 1411m. Hit the line hard for second despite finding one better on the day 1.8L at Pakenham Cl1 over 1600m Soft 5.

Went forward to sit just off the leaders but served up a below par finish 4L at Pakenham 0 - 64 over 1600m Soft 5. Had the winning post in sight after going forward but then dropped out for sixth 4.3L at Geelong Bm64 over 1700m.

Nice positioned to threaten however no match for the first two when third 2.5L at Sale Mdn-Sw over 1411m. Positioned ready to pounce and took over late for an easy win 1.3L at Ballarat 4Up Mdn-Sw over 1400m Synthetic.

Failed to improve on the front runners after settling midfield 13.3L at Pakenham Cg&E Bm58 over 1400m. Pressed to make a move but failed to make any impression on the winner 12.5L at Pakenham Bm64 over 1600m.

Handy, no match when they sprinted 19.9L at Flemington 3Y Hcp over 2000m Soft 7. Just off the leaders at the 400m however couldn't make up ground from sixth 2.9L at Sportsbet Sandown Lakeside 3Yf Bm64 over 1600m.

Ran on ok for sixth after settling midfield in transit 2.5L at Sportsbet Sandown Hillside Bm64 over 2400m. Sat behind the leader, had chance to improve, succumbed into sixth 4.1L at Sportsbet Sandown Hillside Bm64 over 2400m.

Never gave backers any joy after slow start 25.1L at Yarra Valley 0 - 58 over 1950m Soft 5. Disappointed after finding a nice seat on the pace 8.5L at Pakenham Bm58 over 1400m Soft 6. Second-up.

Trailed the leaders midfield however never improved thereon sixth 8.4L at Bairnsdale Bm64 over 2200m. Looked in good shape winning 0.5L at Balnarring Trpy over 1600m. Has won first-up, consider.

Well beaten and couldn't approve when the tempo increased 17L at Balnarring Pic-Trpy1 over 1600m. Didn't finish the race off when fifth after lobbing behind the speed 9.3L at Cranbourne Cl1 over 1400m Soft 5.
