PINJARRA SCARPSIDE   09 Apr 2025
 
GOING: G(4)

TABTOUCH SAME RACE MULTI HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: +3m Entire.  

Bred Not Brought should lead at a strong tempo. BLACK ORA (2) looks an exciting filly who returns from a 95-day let up. She comes in without a trial, but she was very competitive in Saturday grade prior to the break and she draws ideally for Pike in her return. She looks to have a class edge on her rivals. POINT ROCKS (1) was a surprise winner at 60-1 first-up at Pinjarra, but it was the way he did it which was most impressive. He weaved through the field to score running away on the line, despite a 0.2L margin there. Up in trip looks a big tick and he can repeat the dose. JUST GIFTED (5) may appreciate coming back to 1200m and she can improve third-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Black Ora is the one to beat.

Second-up. First start second last of 8 at Northam 3yo Mdn on November 7 over 1100m, 8 len behind Housewife carrying 57kg at $61. Went for a spell before returning settled well back; won by a head at Pinjarra Mdn March 23 over 1000m defeating Grey Revolution with 57kg at $61. Hard to ignore his latest win and he can build on that performance.

Was at long odds at debut and lost the rider when bucking at Bunbury 3yo Mdn February 27 over 1000m. Was runner-up in a trial at Bunbury AW on March 24 over 900m. Can bounce back from a less-than-ideal debut to be in the finish.
