Pakenham Tips 25/5/2023

BEST BET 🏆 (WIN)  

Race 7 No. 6 FERRARI MAN- ($4.40)

FERRARI MAN can be an improver in Race 7. The Waterhouse/Bott galloper resumed at the track and trip on May 11 and led them up before just fading late in the piece behind Barretta, finishing 3rd behind that horse. The front runner was a big improver on benchmark figures when second up at his last preparation, finishing runner-up at Sandown, which followed a 3rd placing at Goulburn. A slight firmer in the early betting, look for him to lead and have enough in the tank at the business end. 

NEXT BEST 🥈 (WIN) 

Race 3 No 10  I AM BEAUTIFUL- ($5.50)

Promising return by I AM BEAUTIFUL off a long break at Geelong over the 1343m on May 12 and the Philip Stokes-trained galloper can go a couple of spots better after running 3rd behind Regal Vow. The six-year-old settled last in the field of 11 that day and produced the fastest last 200m to go 1.1 lengths slower than standard benchmark, which is the best figure that any horse in this race has produced. She might have improvement to come at her second run back and will enjoy a nice time of it from barrier 5.
