Pakenham racing takes place on Friday, May 29, with an eight-race program set down for Pakenham.

Here are our best bets from the meeting, which is the second of a Friday double header in Victoria, coming after the Bendigo meeting.

Race 1 No.1- Fehmarn


Nice debut by Fehmarn over the 1000m here on May 15 and the promising galloper can go a couple of spots better in this race. He headed in with some strong trial form and was hampered early and caught wide before settling in the last pair. The Rebecca Waymouth-trained galloper worked into it with 200m to go before just peaking late to finish within one length of Bolting Blue. Of the field of six that went around that night, only one has gone around since and that was the 5th horse home, Tassorting, who has since come out and won at Mornington. Fehmarn went 3.8 lengths slower than standard benchmark, which is more than seven lengths better than the next best last start benchmark figures of any runner, and a better figure than what any horse in this race has produced. Unless one of the debutants can produce something above average, this does look to be his for the taking. 

Race 6 No.2- Mongolian Gobi


Mongolian Gobi can go close in Race 6 of the evening after resuming with a solid 4th in this grade a fortnight ago,. He settled handy on what was a solid tempo before sticking on behind Zunna. The Peter Gelagotis-trained galloper has not won since producing a four-length romp on debut but has come close a couple of times in stronger races than this and should have improvement to come at his second run back. Jye McNeil will look to slide across from the draw and the field should string out a bit with a couple in this that like to go forward. Expect him to be right in contention at the business end. 

Race 7 No.6- Rising Star


The former Kiwi, Rising Star, looks set to pick up her first win since crossing the ditch. The three-year-old has had two starts since coming over and caught the eye late over the 1400m at Pakenham on a Soft 5 when filling the exacta behind Silver Bullet. She was then tried over the 1600m in a Saturday race at Caulfield and was solid when landing just over two lengths behind Highvol in 7th position, a run that was better than it looked, given thet went very hard in that race. The Busuttin/Young galloper went three lengths faster than standard benchmark, which is the best last start benchmark figure of any runner. She drops back in grade and should be primed third up, while she draws to save plenty of ground from the inside.
