Pakenham Synthetic Race 1 - Ladbrokes Odds Surge Mdn Plate
NASTY (5) resumes. His only run to date was in a good Inglis race during Cup week at Flemington, well in the market there but copping some tough conditions and struggling. Since gelded, he's jumped out well and can do much better. MIRADOR (8) has had two runs back in solid company over 1000m. She looks like she'll appreciate rising in trip now and should be at peak fitness. Hard to hold out. ARTISON (6) ran well first here despite being sent out a $21 chance, working home well to grab second. Better for that and comes under notice now. LIQUID ASSET (4) was sound here on debut over 1100m when in the market and can improve while INSIDE WORD (3) was poor on slow ground at Swan Hill as favourite on debut but can do much better.

Third race start. Promising on debut eased back early on 4th in a small field at Pakenham 2yo Mdn-Sw on February 12 over 1000m, 2.25 len behind Rich On Bubbles with 56kg at $4.80. Returned from break made ground from midfield; 2nd of 10 at this track 2yo Mdn-Sw on July 20 over 1000m, 2.5 len behind Pocketfullofcash carrying 56kg at $21. Fitter and a strong hope.
