PINJARRA SCARPSIDE   02 May 2024
 
GOING: S(5)

STABLE AFFAIRS MAIDEN 1200m

Track: SOFT 5     Rail: Out 7m Entire.  

Solid tempo anticipated with Powerpop taking charge. SKYTALKER (1) will provide a stern test if presented on song. The Belmont trial win and the early betting suggests he will be. His effort at Belmont on debut reads particularly well. THE KING'S UNCLE (4) resumes owning a Belmont trial win over 1000m and has the blinkers applied. Maps for a soft run should go well. POWERPOP (9) will run along and can build on the Geraldton placing. HARD TO TOP (8) resumed sharply-improved beaten a nose here on the main course at big odds. Found the line well and the extra metres shouldn't be an issue. Fitter and is in the mix at a price. HISTORY WON'T CARE (5) debuts and CJP is a positive jockey booking. Has been well-trialled and keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Skytalker.
