Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted March 1 Journalists Share Posted March 1 What Pakenham Races Where Pakenham Racecourse – 420 Nar Nar Goon–Longwarry Rd, Tynong VIC 3813 When Sunday, March 3, 2024 First Race 1:20pm AEDT Visit Dabble Victorian horse racing returns to Pakenham Racecourse on Sunday afternoon for a competitive eight-race meeting. Having raced on Thursday night, the rail comes out 7m for the entire circuit, with the track expected to remain at a Good 4 rating for the duration. The action from Pakenham is set to commence at 1:20pm AEDT. Best Bet at Pakenham: Happy Link Greg Eurell’s Happy Link was the latest victim of the ‘barrier one curse’ at Moonee Valley on debut, running up plenty of backsides approaching the home turn before launching late to finish a half-length back in third. The Toronado filly didn’t see clear air until the final 100m and arguably would have won with even luck in running. Jamie Kah should be able to put her in a better spot from barrier nine on Sunday, preferably outside the leader or in the one-one. From there, Happy Link should have no issue kicking clear from her rivals and righting those wrongs from an unlucky debut. Best Bet Race 4 – #8 Happy Link (9) 3yo Filly | T: Greg Eurell | J: Jamie Kah (56kg) +130 with Neds Next Best at Pakenham: Artistic Genius Artistic Genius returns from a six-month spell and only needs to replicate what he put forward in his first two starts to win here. The three-year-old gelding saluted on debut at Cranbourne before running within two lengths of the Group 1-quality Rey Magnerio at Sale. Daniel Stackhouse will have the son of Flying Artie settled midfield with a touch of cover, and barring any bad luck, Artistic Genius should prove too classy for his rivals. Next Best Race 6 – #2 Artistic Genius (6) 3yo Gelding | T: Ben, Will & JD Hayes | J: Daniel Stackhouse (59.5kg) +210 with Picklebet Best Value at Pakenham: Dancinginthedark Dancinginthedark from the Mick Kent barn brought up an overdue victory at Yarra Valley on February 24 when storming home late to win in a restricted BM58. Despite this being a restricted BM64, the Testa Rossa mare looks well placed against a field that is no harder than what she beat last time out. Barrier 18 is offset by the fact she gets back in the field upon settling, and if she gets a genuinely run 1600m affair, Dancinginthedark has the finishing burst to blouse her rivals and salute a nice price with horse racing bookies. Best Value Race 8 – #11 Dancinginthedark (18) 5yo Mare | T: Mick Kent | J: Ethan Brown (59.5kg) +900 with Playup Sunday quaddie tips for Pakenham Pakenham quadrella selections Sunday, March 3, 2024 1-2-5 2-4-5 Field 1-4-11-12-13 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
