Mike Moroney-trained Philadelphia Storm the best bet of Thursday night’s Pakenham races

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

BEST BET

PHILADELPHIA STORM (Race 7 No. 5 – $6)

Philadelphia Storm raced wide but stuck to his task well second-up. He’ll be much fitter for that and looks ready to fire over 1600m.

NEXT BEST

FOXHOW (Race 4 No. 2 – $4.40)

Gave a start but didn’t have much luck in the straight on this track last time. He can break through even luck on Thursday.

VALUE BET

HIDDEN LEGEND (Race 8 No. 2 – $26)

Hidden Legend improved sharply when only run down last after racing on the pace last start. He’ll be fitter again and rates a good each-way chance at odds in the last.

THE JOCKEY

MICHAEL DEE

The Caulfield Cup-winning jockey has five rides at Pakenham. DEL CAMPO (Race 1 No. 2 – $17), OPTUME (Race 2 No. 7 – $2.50), SUTADAMU (Race 3 No. 7 – $8), FUNNYIFITWON (Race 5 No. 6 – $7.50), HEYWOOD (Race 8 No. 1 – $4.40).
