PINJARRA SCARPSIDE   12 Mar 2026
 
GOING: G(4)

TABTOUCH PINJARRA CUP SUNDAY MARCH 22 MAIDEN 1400m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: +6m Entire.  

Looks a keen contest with Bondi Business and Final Flush pressing for the lead with Bit Tired Actually and Classic Poetry close at hand. DIAMOND CHOUX (7) bounced back to form last start when finishing strongly to be 0.5L off the winner most recently. Chris Parnham hops in the saddle now and she may be able to sit closer from a good draw. Can go one better this time around. FINAL FLUSH (8) was solid from the front over this trip first-up at Bunbury before tackling the 1000 Guineas last time out. Outclassed there, but she drops back to this more suitable assignment with the blinkers on first time. Drawn well and can shed the maiden tag. ARRANGEMENT (4) is a son of Wootton Bassett on debut for the Grantham stable with some nice trials under his belt recently. Brad Parnham takes the ride here and he looks to have some ability. Can make a statement on debut. BHULLAR (6) is better than she showed last time out and can put her best foot forward. BONDI BUSINESS (1) has looked good at the trials coming in and can't be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Diamond Choux can land the knockout blow.
