Horse racing tips: Pakenham best bets, preview for Thursday February 2

News Corp form analyst Brad Waters looks at Thursday night‘s meeting at Pakenham.

BEST BET

AMINIKII (Race 7 No.3 – $4)

Aminikii impressed when sweeping home to be a handy field at Pakenham last time out. He’s on the way up and can win again.

NEXT BEST

TYCOON HUMMA (Race 4 No.2 – $4.20)

Tycoon Humma goes well first-up and races best over 1000m. She drops back from stakes class to BM64 level at Pakenham and will be hard to beat.

STARDEN LASS (Race 6 No.11 – $8)

Starden Lass has raced consistently this time in and gets her chance to break through at Pakenham. She was OK at Cranbourne last time out and is hard fit for this.

VALUE BET

LIEVORE (Race 8 No.5 – $17)

Lievore improved nicely to break her maiden on this track last time and should continue to develop. She can measure up in the last on Thursday night.

THE JOCKEY

JAMIE KAH

Pakenham on a Thursday night is a long way from the heaving crowds of Sha Tin but Jamie Kah should again be among the winners. ITZA MOTZA (Race 1 No.3 – $8), TAPIN’ THREE (Race 3 No.11 – $6.50), BRAZEN KINGDOM (Race 5 No.2 – $3.30).
