Pakenham Synthetic Race 1 - Ladbrokes Popular Srm Mdn Plate
DOUBLET (2) returned from a break of seven months with a solid third last start at this track over 1400m after he got a long way back in the run. Up in trip suits ideally now and any improvement sees him go close. HIT SQUAD (4) is yet to break through after five career starts but did place over this route two back before dropping back in trip and running fifth. Shinn on helps, he'll roll forward and take beating. VESPASIAN (7) stuck on well for third at Geelong last time over 1700m and maps well at peak fitness, should take beating. RISING NINE TOP (9) ran well fresh at Ballarat Synthetic over 1400m and up in trip suits. With luck from the gate she'll take beating.

At the latest run 5th of 12 in a Mdn-Sw at this track on August 10 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Rip Current with 59.5kg at $6.50.
