Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted January 16 Journalists Share Posted January 16 What Pakenham Races Where Southside Racing Pakenham – 420 Nar Nar Goon – Longwarry Rd, Tynong VIC 3810 When Friday, January 17, 2025 First Race 5:30pm AEDT Visit Dabble Pakenham Racecourse is the destination for Friday night racing in Victoria for another week, with an eight-race meeting set down for decision once again. The track has come up a Good 4 at the time of acceptances, while the rail will be out 9m the entire circuit like it was last Friday night. The first event is set to jump at 5:30pm AEDT. Best Bet at Pakenham: Chicago King Chicago King has been knocking down the door to break his maiden and may not get a better chance than what he does on Friday night. The Street Boss gelding made a mess of the start at Cranbourne, and despite finishing second beaten under a length, the three-year-old gelding was always going to find it tough to win. If Shane Foley can get him out of the gates cleanly, Chicago King should have no issue in finding a nice spot midfield throughout. Armed with a nice turn of foot, the 1600m looks ideal for Chicago King third-up. Best Bet Race 5 – #3 Chicago King (5) 3yo Gelding | T: Anthony & Sam Freedman | J: Shane Foley (58kg) Bet with Neds Next Best at Pakenham: Malletier The Tony & Calvin McEvoy-trained Malletier justified his short price with horse racing bookmakers when breaking maiden ranks at Wangaratta. The three-year-old gelding was able to dictate terms throughout and won by close to two-lengths with a fair bit left in reserve. The son of Nicconi looks to have a bit of class about him and if Billy Egan can find the rail from barrier eight, or at worst, sit outside lead, Malletier should prove too hard to run down once again. Next Best Race 3 – #10 Malletier (8) 3yo Gelding | T: Tony & Calvin McEvoy | J: Billy Egan (57.5kg) Bet with BlondeBet Next Best Again at Pakenham: Pacific Cross Pacific Cross received no luck last time out at Mornington and comes back to Pakenham looking to right those wrongs in the finale. The four-year-old mare was shuffled towards the back of the field on the home turn, and despite working home strongly when finishing second, beaten 1.5 lengths was never a winning hope from that point. From barrier eight, Billy Egan will look to have her in the moving line throughout, and when asked for an ultimate effort, Pacific Cross should be able to build through the gears and blouse her rivals. Next Best Again Race 8 – #6 Pacific Cross (8) 4yo Mare | T: Mike Moroney & Glen Thompson | J: Billy Egan (58.5kg) Bet with Picklebet Friday quaddie tips for Pakenham Pakenham quadrella selections January 17, 2025 3-12 8-9-11-12 1-2-3-8-9-11 6-10 | 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...
