Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted March 13 Journalists Share Posted March 13 What Pakenham Cup Night 2024 Where Pakenham Racecourse – 420 Nar Nar Goon–Longwarry Rd, Tynong VIC 3813 When Friday, March 15, 2024 First Race 5:45pm AEDT Visit Dabble The Listed Pakenham Cup (2500m) headlines a competitive nine-race meeting at Pakenham on Friday night with $300,000 on the line in the feature. Perfect conditions are forecast, with the track rated a Good 4 and the rail in its true position for the entirety. Pakenham Cup Night is set to kick off at 5:45pm AEDT. Pakenham Cup Tip: Ashrun Resuming at Caulfield on February 24 over 2000m, Ashrun hit the line with great intent in his first run since finishing fourth in the Melbourne Cup (3200m). As he steps up to the 2500m second-up, he gets the right conditions to break a winless stretch that dates back to 2020. He gets a 2kg weight advantage on Dunkel, who he lost to by 1.5 lengths first-up, and with some race fitness under his belt and the rise in distance, Ashrun should have no issue in turning the tables in the Pakenham Cup. Pakenham Cup Race 8 – #3 Ashrun (3) 8yo Gelding | T: Ciaron Maher | J: Mark Zahra (58kg) Bet with Bet365 Best Bet at Pakenham: Illative Illative caught the eye when flashing home for second at Flemington on March 2, and a repeat of that finishing burst should be enough to break maiden ranks at the fourth time of asking. The Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr-trained filly has always had a ‘boom’ about her, but she is yet to break through for that illusive victory. With even luck on Friday night, Illative will simply be winning. Best Bet Race 3 – #8 Illative (11) 3yo Filly | T: Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) | J: Damian Lane (56kg) Bet with Neds Next Best at Pakenham: United Kingdom United Kingdom was simply outclassed in Group 2 company at Caulfield on February 24, but his maiden win at Geelong on debut showed plenty of promise. He gave his rivals a massive start on that occasion but showed a strong turn of foot to salute. Barrier 13 on Friday is offset by his want to get back in the field, and if he can get a genuinely run mile, the 1600m at Pakenham will suit him perfectly. Next Best Race 9 – #6 United Kingdom (13) 3yo Colt | T: Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) | J: Damian Lane (59kg) Bet with Picklebet Best Value at Pakenham: Housay Shea Eden’s Housay looked in need of his first-up run at Bendigo, but that should have prepared him well for this task. The lightly raced sprinter maps to gain a beautiful run in transit behind the leaders under Jaylah Kennedy, who claims 3kg. Housay will have no issue in sprinting under the 58.5kg load, and if he is anywhere near his best, the son of Zebedee can dispose of his BM64 rivals at a nice price with horse racing betting sites. Best Value Race 2 – #1 Housay (2) 7yo Gelding | T: Shea Eden | J: Jaylah Kennedy (a3) (61.5kg) Bet with PlayUp Friday quaddie tips for Pakenham Pakenham quadrella selections Friday, March 15, 2024 1-2-4-9 3-5-7-8 1-3 1-6 | 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...
