The synthetic track is in action at Pakenham this Friday and with so many high quality horses in the mix, it promises to be another fascinating afternoon of racing.

8 enticing contests comprise the card at Pakenham and there is a guarantee of thrills and spills, with punters and betting sites looking to stay ahead of the game.

Whilst the synthetic track is notoriously a touch more volatile, there are plenty of bets for gamblers to get behind and OnlyRacing have all bases covered.

Pakenham - Race 1 - Macktow Maiden Plate - 2200m

Selections:
1. Avenues - $2.60
8. Torbelo - $4.60
7. Sunny Times - $4.80

BEST BET - Avenues - $2.60
It feels as if everything of late has been pointing towards a maiden victory for Avenues, a horse that has come agonisingly close to picking up a win at  Pakenham previously and this is a big chance to land a W.

THE DANGER - Torbelo - $4.60
Ciaron Maher could articulate a very similar story for Torbelo, a horse that has been doing all the right things and who could be suited to this 2200m trip at Pakenham but competition is stiff.

VALUE BET - Sunny Times - $4.80
Could it be a case of 16th time lucky for Sunny Times, a horse with bags of potential but who has been unable to pick up that maiden win but it should be firmly in the hunt in this company at Pakenham.

Pakenham - Race 4 - Mikaela Claridge Maiden Plate - 1400m

Selections:
9. Lady Potato Head - $2.40
8. Forever More - $2.50
12. Tycoonette - $4.40

BEST BET - Lady Potato Head - $2.40
Finishing third on debut here at Pakenham last time out doesn't tell the whole story for Lady Potato Head, a horse with bags of potential and this looks to be the perfect contest to break a duck.

THE DANGER - Forever More - $2.50
Form has been consistent of late for Forever More, for the first time in its fledgling career and it does feel as if a win is coming. Could it finally land in this one?

VALUE BET - Tycoonette - $4.40
By contrast, Tycoonette has stagnated somewhat since an impressive debut and this will be a chance to put some miles back into the legs and build confidence within the camp.

Pakenham - Race 7 - Synthetic Stayers Final - 2200m

Selections:
4. Cable Dancer - $3.60
1. Blazing Rebel - $4.40
6. Tradeworx - $6.50

BEST BET - Cable Dancer - $3.60
Few horses at this level are as consistent as Cable Dancer, especially over the cut and thrust of the synthetic track and this contest should suit. A win is needed but Cable Dancer is more than capable.

THE DANGER - Blazing Rebel - $4.40
A poor run last time out aside, Blazing Rebel has been in decent nick throughout the campaign and this is a contest that should suit. Rebuilding confidence will be key though after a tough last outing.

VALUE BET - Tradeworx - $6.50
Firmly in the winning groove is Tradeworx, a horse that has won its last two races, both over course and distance here at Pakenham and whilst this is stiffer competition, Tradeworx looks more than capable of putting a big performance in.
