Pakenham Race 5 - Sammy Takes On Justin (Bm64) (Chute)
ALERO (1) has been kept fresh since a very smart first-up win at Caulfield Heath, sitting on speed and running his rivals into the ground, scoring by 2.25 lengths. Prior to that he'd beaten Ahha Ahha, who was a commanding winner at Sandown on Saturday in a good race. Finds another winnable race and rates highly. STAGE 'N' SCREEN (7) has been okay this time in without quite threatening. She was hard in the market in a stronger race last time and can be forgiven on a tough Moonee Valley track. Can bounce back. TWISTED QUEEN (9) won well on debut at Kyneton, showing early pace and coming clear. Can measure up. WARPARTY (4) won a decent 0-62 fresh at Mornington and it wouldn't shock if he was finding the line strongly. IMMORTAL STAR (2) has patchy form but would take beating at her best.

Most recently ran on from midfield and won by a neck at Kilmore Cg&E Bm58 May 5 over 1207m defeating The Wizard King carrying 61kg at $5. The run before that second last in a small field at Seymour Bm64 on April 15 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Posh I'm Not carrying 58kg at $4.20. This might be too rich.

Second run back. First-up after four months favourite; came from midfield and won by a nose at Mornington 0 - 62 May 12 over 1200m defeating Second Fix carrying 59kg at $2.60. Previously second-up 7th of 10 at this track 3yo Bm74 on December 21 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Sweethearted with 57.5kg at $26. Back in great shape and is a genuine hope.
