Pakenham Race 8 - John Duff & Co (Bm62)
YES WE ARE (2) can bounce back here. The first up win at Sale was very good, winning by two lengths as favourite before a poor run at Sandown Hillside last time, backed into $1.85 there and seemingly having his chance. He's been given time since then and can bounce back strongly. MR MAGNUS (1) doesn't win out of turn but is going okay and will find this easier, not far away at Flemington latest. If the tempo is good, he'll be rattling home. BOLD SUITOR (6) broke through for a narrow maiden win here last time out and could go on with it from a good draw. BLUE BANDIT (5) resumes for his second campaign having shown ability last time in work. He can measure up. MY ZEPHYR (7) next best.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Not raced for 50 days. First-up favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 2 len at Sale Bm62 January 8 over 1000m defeating Fully Calculated with 60kg at $2.05. Second run from a spell second last in a small field at Sandown-Hillside Bm66 on January 28 over 1000m, 2 len behind Croatian Art carrying 60kg at $1.85. Profiles nicely for this, can atone.

Last start got back early 6th of 8 at Flemington Vg Comet on February 28 over 1000m, 5.5 len behind Bridal Waltz with 54kg at $101. The start before that 4th of 12 at Geelong F&M Bm74 on January 3 over 1400m, 4 len behind Davida carrying 55kg at $18. Better suited here, can figure in the minor money.

Most recently ran last in a small field at this track F&M Bm70 on March 5 over 1000m, 5.5 len behind She's My Ex carrying 55kg at $61. The run before that ran last of 9 at this track Bm62 on February 26 over 1000m, 5.5 len behind Tiz Worthy carrying 55kg at $151. Unreliable and needs to lift.
