Pakenham Race 7 - Ladbrokes Future Stars Series Final Hcp (C3)
The Future Stars Series Final. As you'd expect, plenty of last-start winners and promising horses. We're siding with PLUNGER (1) who won his heat on debut over 1200m in dominant fashion, coming right away in fast time to score by 2.25 lengths. 1400m should only suit better and he gets every chance from the inside gate. CYBER LINK (3) won his heat well on debut before being thrown in the deep end last time, tackling the G2 Autumn Stakes when outclassed behind Observer. He can do much better this time. SAPPHIRE SIREN (10) resumed with a slick win here over 1200m, pushing forward from a wide gate and coming away late, giving every indication she'd relish this trip. SAVOYARD (6) came from last on debut to win his strong heat narrowly. He looks set to measure up. SILVER BULLET (7) has ticked the 1400m box having won well here last time and should take beating again.

Third race start. First start 7th of 12 at this track 2yo Mdn-Sw on March 20 over 1100m, 8 len behind Scenic Point carrying 58kg at $14.
