Pakenham Race 1 - Hygain Edge Mdn Plate
Small but intriguing field to kick things off. LEOPARD SHARK (5) has the most experience with two starts to her name. She debuted with a most encouraging performance, sticking on for third behind leading 2yo Guest House. She was fresh into the Blue Diamond Preview and got back from a wide gate which didn't suit. Like her sitting on speed out to 1200m now. STOMPING GROUND (4) is a gelding by Astern on debut for the Browne yard. He got to the line strongly in a recent trial and the booking of Damian Lane is a good lead. Expect he measures up. SILENT GRIT (3) debuted in the Blue Diamond Preview for the boys and was just fair but not beaten far in a messy dash home. 1200m should suit much better. LIFT NET (2) is a colt by Brazen Beau who debuts for the McEvoy yard. Watch the betting with him and CAPTAIN BLOOD (1) who has trialled fairly for the O'Brien yard.

Two-year-old colt making debut by Brazen Beau out of Seine Net. Was runner-up in a jump-out at Werribee on January 16. Then followed up with a fifth over 1000m in a Geelong trial on January 27. Looks to have ability and can run well.

Two-year-old gelding (Astern - Stomp). He has three recent trials leading in today's debut. Was runner-up in a jump-out at Pakenham on January 27. Watch for a positive push but can make an immediate impact.

Having third race start. At debut, raced on the pace when 3rd of 10 at Cranbourne 2yo Hcp on December 27 over 1000m, 2 len behind Guest House carrying 57kg at $15. Second-up eased back early on 6th of 9 at Caulfield in the G3 Bd/Prev F on January 24 over 1000m, 4 len behind Rubi's Choice carrying 56kg at $26. Has shown promise and finds the right race.
