Pakenham Race 8 - Bunyip Equipment (Bm62)
Sticking with LAUBERHORN (4) who was heavily supported on debut at Sale and won well enough, beating six rivals as the $1.50 favourite. Probably didn't beat much there but he should have learnt plenty from it and he can measure up to this grade. Not sure what to make of LATHLAIN (7). She was plain disappointing as a $2.45 chance last time at Sandown Lakeside. She's got ability but has struggled to maintain form into her preparations. LADY SADLER (9) won well fresh, just finding one better last time at Cranbourne. Finds a similar race again here and should be competitive. SAVAMOON (2) resumes. He was in consistent form last time in and can give a sight if wound up. SPARKLING LUCK (5) is racing well and rates an each way hope again.

Was well-supported at debut, won favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.8 len at Sale Mdn-Sw April 8 over 1206m defeating So You Excel carrying 59kg at $1.50. Will take a lot from that run and can remain unbeaten.

Most recently sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 7 at Sandown-Lakeside Bm66 on April 6 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Fire Tribe with 58.5kg at $2.45. The race before that sat on the pace before fading to run last of 8 at Flemington in the G2 Kewney on March 7 over 1600m, 13 len behind Sass Appeal with 56kg at $7. Much better than last start, give another chance.
