AU - Pakenham Synthetic - Race 3

SOUNDWAVE (8) returned last time with a solid second at Hamilton over 6f when he did his best work late. Fitter now and profiles very well, looks very hard to hold out. PARAMOUNT PLUS (5) on a synthetic surface for the first time. Beaten a nose when runner-up on his return from a break last start at Geelong over 5 ½f and can come on from that, big danger. ASTROPARTICAL (10) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in fifth over 5 ½f at Bendigo. Has natural upside and should give a bold sight up on speed. VEGAS MISSILE (12) is a first-starter by Lucky Vega out of Miss Isla for the Freedman yard who warrant plenty of respect.
