Pakenham Synthetic Race 9 - Ladbrokes Place Extra (Bm62)

BALANCE (5) got the job done first up as a short priced favourite at Geelong, sent out the $1.65 elect and just proving a bit too good late. Suspect there's more to offer now and she should get a lovely run just behind the speed again. NEZIHA (9) resumes. She was beaten as favourite in her only run last time in and spelled but had shown good ability in her maiden campaign and warrants plenty of respect. BRASS IN POCKET (14) resumes. She chased home Concord Connie on debut which is strong form and went on with it thereafter. Tough draw but she's got pace and can roll forward, respecting. THE FLYING POPOV (3) worked home well first up at Geelong and should come on from that although the draw doesn't help. TWO TO TANGO (8) has the ability to run well fresh and draws for a nice run.

Back after a long spell. Finished off last preparation 4th in a small field in a Cl1 at Pakenham on April 9 over 1200m, slow going 2.25 len behind Humble Trader carrying 56.5kg at $2.25. When resuming last campaign on from midfield; 2nd of 11 in a 3yo F Mdn-Sw at Geelong on November 14 over 1207m, head behind Shystar with 57kg at $15. Fitter for a jump-out on September 22 at Pakenham when finished fifth. This is an ideal race to kick off. Has good ability and can take this out fresh.

Third-up today. First-up raced behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 9 in a 3yo Hcp at Caulfield Heath on August 8 over 1200m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Stakes with 54.5kg at $14. Last start 5th of 13 in a Bm62 at Ballarat on September 18 over 1000m, 2.5 len behind Yolo with 57.5kg at $10. Going well. Rough hope.
