Pakenham Racing Tips for June 29 – Money trail suggests Bronte Beach is the one to beat in Race 7

Here are our best bets from the meeting, which also feature in our daily selections.

It was a solid debut performance by Vegas Missile at the track and trip a fortnight ago and the Anthony & Sam Freedman-trained galloper can go one spot better in this race after missing out in a tight one behind Paramount Plus. At his debut, the son of Lucky Vega settled handy and worked into it in the sraight before missing out in a head-bobber, going 1.6 lengths slower than standard benchmark, which is a better figure than what any horse in this race has produced. He draws wide for this but can work up to settle within striking distance and with any improvement to come from his debut, he should be very hard to beat. 

Bronte Beach should be ready to produce at her third run back from a spell. The four-year-old hasnt quite gone on with it after taking out her first two starts over a year ago but was ok in harder company than this at her last preparation and has returned with two placings with the latest coming in a BenchMark 70 over the 1400m here on June 15. She wobbled around the bend but produced the fastest 400m-200m split before just peaking late behind Surreal I Am. The daughter of Justify has been crunched in the early betting and was a big improver on figures at her only third up run when landing three lengths off Verona Rose in the $350,000 Inglis Bracelet at Flemington at her last preparation. She can box seat from barrier 1 and this does look to ber hers for the taking.
