RDA PAKENHAM TROPHY
Results
ELOUYOU (20) is a progressive type who has run second in both runs back from a spell behind a pair of smart types. The horse that beat him by a nose last time has won well again since. He looks nicely suited out to 1400m on the minimum weight. LE FERRARI (8) seems a bit underrated again. He beat a few of these in a bunched finish last start at Sandown-Hillside but maps ideally again here and must be included. WATADEEL (13) was the eye catcher behind Le Ferrari, working home strongly when fresh. Drawn wide again here is the query but will be hard to hold out. RHEINBERG (6) and TALBRAGAR (10) were both close up behind Le Ferrari last time and must have claims.
