Pinjarra   22 May 2025
 
GOING: G(4)

BJS ELANTIS MAIDEN 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: +7m Entire.  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Royal Defense. THE AGENCY (1) is a 3YO colt on resumption for the Andrews stable. He was a late scratching here on Anzac Day due to a floating mishap, but looks well placed in this event. Visors come off now for Noske who sticks from his only trial coming in. Can resume on a winning note. DARK OPAL (9) sat on the speed down the straight course here last start and just missed, beaten 0.2L in a strong effort. The wide draw suits for the straight course and the red-hot Fiore now rides. Can go one better this time. WON FOR THE GIRLS (3) sat on the speed at Northam first-up over 1100m and while he was beaten 1.6L, Pike sticks in the saddle. Will need some luck from out wide, but has some class and is not to be discounted. HOPE TO RULE (11) bolted in at the trials recently and can make an impression first-up. HIDDEN JEWELS (7) has shown enough at the trials to suggest he can run a cheeky race on debut. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Agency can return on a winning note.
