Pakenham Race 3

Sammy Ray Takes On Sportsbet Mdn Plate

Stake: $44,000

TAKEN (5) resumes and is a promising galloper in a top yard. He's threatened in stronger races and will be naturally improved. Damian Lane was aboard in a recent trial and stays with him. He looks well-placed. GLAMOUR ANA (6) resumes and has shown enough. Missed a lip at Kyneton before the spell and she's jumped out positively here. Currie is reunited, and a fancied stablemate has been scratched. BLACK COAL (1) was narrowly beaten at Geelong on debut, bet into $2.60 favouritism, and will have taken fitness and learning. He has claims. ZUNNA (12) debuts and has prepared well. The late betting will be key.

At the latest run 3rd of 9 at Bendigo Mdn-Sw on March 18 over 1100m, 2.5 len behind Grinzinger Sun with 59kg at $11. The start before that 4th of 10 at Bendigo 3yo Mdn-Sw on March 2 over 1000m, 2.25 len behind Carolina Breeze carrying 58kg at $41. Likely to find this a bit tougher and others appeal more.

Comments

Three-year-old filly by leading sire Zoustar out of Candika. Phillip Stokes has her primed for this with three recent trials prior to her debut today. Won her most recent trial at Pakenham over 1000m on March 18. Has the pedigree and the betting will be key.

Expected Settling Position: No speed data
