PINJARRA SCARPSIDE   02 May 2024
 
GOING: S(5)

WESTERN RACEPIX HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT 5     Rail: Out 7m Entire.  

In the small field Simple Logic or Playing Games should find the front. PLAYING GAMES (4) was beaten 2L in Listed grade before the spell and has placed twice at Ascot this preparation. She has more to give and is down in grade. Fitter and is the one to beat. SIMPLE LOGIC (2) won here and has gone close the two since. He's also suited at this level and the 1.5kg claim assists. TROPICAL SUN (7) went well at York for the new yard and then spiked her figures when beaten a nose at Narrogin this grade. Chris Parnham is a key jockey booking she can get into the money. Ditto SEMIGEL (5) at a price. Is knocking on the door and he'll arrive at peak fitness. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Playing Games.
