Pakenham Synthetic Race 1 - Ladbrokes Popular Srm Mdn Plate
SOUL MISTRESS (6) finished third last start over 1600m at this track to make it six minor placings from eight runs. Has been in the frame at both appearances at this circuit. Nicely placed and expected to go very well. CHATEAU DANCER (5) switches to synthetic for the first time. Finished in the money first-up two runs back and followed that with an unplaced effort over the mile at Sandown-Hillside. Harder to beat this time. STAR OF TENNYSON (3) finds the maiden win elusive but has been finishing full of running. If he can settle closer this time and finish with the same turn of foot he can give this a shake. BUILTTHISCITY (1) has been better in his last two and should be at his top now. Rise in trip could be key.

Most recently 5th of 9 at Moe Mdn-Sw on July 21 over 1628m, on rain affected going; 6 len behind Ngongotaha with 59.5kg at $31. The run before that from last on the turn 6th of 12 at this track Mdn-Sw on June 29 over 1400m, 4 len behind Shares with 59.5kg at $81. Is a genuine top three chance at a nice quote.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 12 at this track Mdn-Sw on June 15 over 1400m, 6 len behind King Maywin carrying 59.5kg at $21. Last start ran second last of 9 at Moe Mdn-Sw on July 3 over 1628m, on heavy track; 36 len behind Overpriced with 59.5kg at $11. Likely improver with a key booking in Shinn.

Having third race start. At very long odds at debut, ran last of 12 at this track Mdn-Sw on June 15 over 1200m, 10 len behind Paramount Plus with 53.5kg at $101. Second-up ran last of 8 at Sandown-Hillside 2yo+ Mdn-Sw on July 15 over 1600m, in the wet; 13 len behind De Ascot with 57.5kg at $151. Hard to see her playing a major role.
