Horse Racing Tips: Pakenham Best Betting Preview Thursday 16 March

BEST RATE

FAGIN (Race 5 #5 – $4.20)

Looks ready to run 1600m after two great 1400m attempts to start his career. He is a promising type who can break through this time.

FALL CARNIVAL OFFER: UNLOCK EVERYTHING ON RACENET FOR $1

NEXT BEST

DANCINGINTHEDARK (Race 6 #8 – $6.50)

The talented mare just went too far when the last time didn’t go that far on her first run in five weeks. This time she will be in better shape and able to bounce back.

QUEEN TA VISTA (Race 7 #5 – $4.80)

Queen Ta Vista led and scored well in good time when she ran up to 1600m in her second run and will find it hard to run again despite moving up in class at Pakenham.

FAVORABLE RATE

PINK AND BLACK (Race 1 #9 – $6)

Last time the Geelong trained mare was healthy in both runs and had more time to develop. She sharply added in her last jump and could win a new victory.

JOCKEY
