PINJARRA SCARPSIDE   12 Mar 2026
 
GOING: G(4)

GANNONS SPORTSWEAR & TROPHIES MAIDEN 1400m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: +6m Entire.  

Good tempo anticipated with Leafice and Radio Silence leading the way. OSCARS NO GROUCH (6) was very impressive from the back of the pack at Belmont last time out, flying late to be 1.4L off the winner at the finish. The slight rise in trip should suit and he's now third-up and ready to peak. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks the one to beat. LEAFICE (9) is racing well this time in work, missing by 4.6L last start when the race favourite. Parnham remains in the saddle from a good draw and getting out in trip now may be what she's looking for. Can get the job done without surprising. JESA LUPA (3) keeps Pike in the saddle today following a solid effort at Bunbury last time out. The wide draw is a query, but the blinkers go on now and he's not to be discounted. EXTREME RULER (1) was solid behind a good winner last start and has to be included on that effort. YANKEE ACE (2) is next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Oscars No Grouch.
