Pakenham Race 4 - Bunyip Equipment Mdn Plate
ARDASHIR (1) is a lightly raced gelding who looks ready to improve rising in trip. He was a former import from Ireland who debuted over 2514m in Ireland and has been solid in two runs here over shorter. Suspect he'll relish the distance and take plenty of beating. COLIZZI (5) effectively crossed the line alongside ARDASHIR last start at Ballarat having run well in the Tasmanian Derby prior. He'll roll forward and give a bold sight. ANGEL FEET (4) has raced at Yarra Valley his past three, finding the line well enough behind a dominant winner for second there last time. He's bred to stay so getting up to this trip now suits on the bigger track and Lane goes on from a soft gate. ZINOVATION (3) has been good in three runs back and will be peaking now with genuine claims. TE TANIWHA (9) is lightly raced and has claims.
