Didn’t have the measure of Cherry Tortini but form analyst Leo Schlink believes his best bet South Parade should have the measure of maiden grade when he ventures to Pakenham. BEST BETS, ANALYSIS

‘What a race!’: Wild finish stuns racing

Herald Sun chief racing writer Leo Schlink runs the rule over the Pakenham program and has pinpointed South Parade as his best bet for punters.

Check out what else Schlink likes at the Friday meeting.

BEST BET

SOUTH PARADE (Race 3, No 8, $3.70)

Had plenty of market support when fifth behind rising star Cherry Tortoni at Flemington last start. Drops back to maiden grade here, drawn beautifully for Jamie Kah.

NEXT BEST

LOVING GRACIE (Race 1, No 2, $5)

Not far away when sixth in Cranbourne trial in March behind Knowles before easy 800m trial win here on June 24 in good time.

CATATUDE (Race 6, No 4, $2.60)

Won well Ballarat 1000m and has the versatility from tricky gate to find a handy position. Extra 200m here suits.

POWER BOOM (Race 8, No 8, $3.80)

Dropping back from city grade where she has acquitted herself impressively. Slowly away last start at Caulfield. Perfectly placed here.

Jockey Jamie Mott should be around the money at Pakenham.
