PINJARRA SCARPSIDE   09 Apr 2025
 
GOING: G(4)

BRIDGETOWN JIGSAW PUZZLE GALLERY MAIDEN 2200m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: +3m Entire.  

Moderate pace with Alnaud rolling to the lead and setting the tempo. AGE OF GRACE (10) should be getting toward her peak fitness now third-up into the campaign and she gets the blinkers on first time today. She's shown some ability thus far and now Pike takes the ride from a good gate. The extra furlong looks ideal and she'll take beating. NEAP TIDE (4) is an improving commodity who closed off nicely behind the winner last start at Ascot, beaten 2.9L. He was good at the end of last campaign over 2100m, and now third-up and out to this trip, he can put his best foot forward. ALNAUD (2) led them up over 2000m on the main track here last start and couldn't hold off the winner, beaten 1L. He was able to lead an dictate there and that will give him his best chance of winning this too. Rates well off last start and won't be far away. DORO GIRL (9) was solid behind Alnaud last time out and won't be far away. REEL SERENITY (7) is next best out to this trip for the first time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Age Of Grace creates plenty of interest.
