Jett Hatton’s Pakenham tips for Tuesday where we’ll see Winx’s sister go around

An eight-race program to negotiate at Pakenham on Tuesday with decent sized fields in most races but no worries about track conditions with the meeting to be conducted on the synthetic surface but a most interesting runner to line up in Winx’s sister Covent Garden who contests the third event.

BEST BET

COVENT GARDEN

R3 No. 2

While Covent Garden is not going to live up to her sister’s fame (Winx), she can chalk up a maiden win at Pakenham. She wasn’t far off the likes of Miravalle and Yangtze Rapids when resuming last time in and from a good gate, it will only take a similar effort to be winning this.

NEXT BEST

BIG DARRYL

R5 No. 2

Like the way he stuck on for second last time out despite sitting three deep for a good part of the trip. Sticks in the same grade but carries 1kg less after the claim from Josh Richards – a similar performance would see him the one to beat.

VALUE BET

SINEAD

R8 No. 9

Lightly raced filly which has thrived in Victoria and looks on song for another win on Tuesday. Drawn to get every chance in running from the inside gate and with Brett Prebble retaining the ride, we’ll get a big run for our money at the double figure odds.

THE JOCKEY – Josh Richards

Trainers are taking advantage of the 2kg claim for Josh Richards, who has a great book of rides at Pakenham on Tuesday and looks set to deliver a winner or two.

POKRIFKI (R3 No. 12 – $16), BIG DARRYL (R5 No. 2 – $3.80), DUBAWI PRINCE (R6 No. 1 – $4.80), BLOOD SWEAT TEARS (R7 No. 1 – $2.80), INVINCIBLE BAY (R8 No. 4 – $13)
