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

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

BEST BET

Race 7 No.3 WORCESTER ($2.50)

Worcester went for home a long way out at Bendigo and was too good. Similar tactics could work again at Pakenham.

NEXT BEST

Race 4 No.1 DISSELATION ($4.80)

Disselation raced on the speed and fought on well first-up. He could be harder to run down with extra fitness this time.

Race 6 No.7 UNIVERSALLY ($7)

Universally went to the spelling paddock a winner and has had more time to develop. He can run boldly fresh.

VALUE BET

Race 3 No.3 KRANICH ($13)

Kranich hit the line soundly when placed on debut at Cranbourne. Rising to 1600m on the bigger Pakenham track will suit.
