Pakenham Friday racing preview & quaddie | November 10, 2023
| What | Pakenham Races |
| Where | Pakenham Racecourse – 420 Nar Nar Goon–Longwarry Rd, Tynong VIC 3813 |
| When | Friday, November 10, 2023 |
| First Race | 6:15pm AEDT |
Friday night racing heads to Pakenham Racecourse, where a competitive eight-part meeting awaits punters. Perfect conditions are forecast for the region on Thursday and Friday, meaning we should see an upgrade to a Good 3 at some stage. Despite the rail coming out 6m from the 1000m-400m and then out 5m for the remainder, there should be no bias on what is one of the fairer tracks in Victoria. Racing commences at 6:15pm AEDT.
Best Bet at Pakenham: Rackemann
Rackemann went to the paddock a winner after breaking his maiden in style at Sandown on August 30. The Ben, Will & JD Hayes-trained galloper chased home the likes of Shuffle Dancer and Flying Temptress in his initial campaign and was far from disgraced. We expect Jye McNeil to use gate four to his advantage and lead from barrier to box.
Best Bet
Race 8 – 
#4 Rackemann (4)
4yo Gelding | T: Ben, Will & JD Hayes | J: Jye McNeil (60kg)
Next Best at Pakenham: War Frontier
War Frontier broke his maiden first-up at Ballarat before putting in a thunderous finish to salute at the Moe 1600m on October 20 in a BM64. He stays at the mile and in similar company on Friday night, and despite going up 2kg, he looks the one to beat. The long straight at Pakenham should suit the son of War Front perfectly as he builds through the gears with the big weight under Beau Mertens.
Next Best
Race 7 – 
#3 War Frontier (7)
4yo Horse | T: Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) | J: Beau Mertens (61.5kg)
Best Value at Pakenham: El Soleado
Robbie Laing’s El Soleado returns from a four-month spell and comes back to the track where he broke his maiden in what has proved to be a hot form reference. He would then go on to Sandown and defeat the smart Who Dares before putting in an end-of-prep run at Flemington. Despite not filling a top-three spot in two fresh runs, El Soleado can break the first-up duck against this field.
Best Value
Race 6 – 
#5 El Soleado (13)
4yo Gelding | T: Robbie Laing | J: Jamie Mott (61.5kg)
