Pakenham Thursday racing tips & quaddie | November 15, 2023
| What | Pakenham Races |
| Where | Pakenham Racecourse – 420 Nar Nar Goon–Longwarry Rd, Tynong VIC 3813 |
| When | Thursday, November 15, 2023 |
| First Race | 1:30pm AEDT |
Horse racing in Victoria heads to Pakenham Racecourse on Thursday afternoon for a competitive eight-race meeting. Perfect conditions for racing are forecast, with the track rated a Good 4, while the rail comes out 8m from the winning post to the 1000m mark and then out 9m the remainder. The action from Pakenham gets underway at 1:30pm AEST.
Best Bet at Pakenham: Everett
Enver Jusufovic’s Everett has finished second in her last two starts, and the stable looks to have found the right race for her. The Winning Rupert mare finished a length off the winner at Benalla on October 30 when outgunned late, and the start prior she chased home the smart Apache Song at Moe. This is obviously her easiest assignment this campaign, and from barrier six, under Carleen Hefel, she will be given every chance to strike. Hefel will have the mare stalking the speed throughout, and with a well-timed sprint, Everett should prove too good for her rivals.
Best Bet
Race 3 – 
#10 Everett (6)
4yo Mare | T: Enver Jusufovic | J: Carleen Hefel (57.5kg)
Next Best at Pakenham: Raetihi
Raetihi was a dominant 1400m maiden winner at Pakenham on November 4, leading from barrier to box to win by seven lengths. From barrier nine, Jake Noonan will hunt for the rail from the outset, and it could well be an action replay of his maiden win. That win came at start 13, so he certainly is no superstar, but with a bit of luck, Raetihi can run his rivals off their feet over 1600m.
Next Best
Race 7 – 
#6 Raetihi (9)
4yo Gelding | T: Emma-Lee & David Browne | J: Jake Noonan (60.5kg)
Best Value at Pakenham: Superior Zara
The Simon Zahra-trained Superior Zara finished second behind Modown on October 29 at Sale, with that runner subsequently placing at Group level during the Melbourne Cup Carnival. This Super One filly was held up for a run at a crucial time at Sale and went within 1.25 lengths of the winner. From barrier 15, Winona Costin will need to have this girl settled at the rear of the field. If Superior Zara puts in a similar run to what she produced at Sale, she can go close to winning this at any old price.
Best Value
Race 2 – 
#13 Superior Zara (15)
3yo Filly | T: Simon Zahra | J: Winona Costin (56kg)
