PINJARRA SCARPSIDE   07 Jun 2025
 
GOING: G(4)

COUNTRY COMFORT PERTH PLATE 1300m

Track: SOFT 5     Rail: +3m Entire.  

Expecting Moonwalk to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. Time for the 2YO's now where TOO DARN STORMY (1) beat a lot of his rivals on debut, and that looks the key form reference for this event. He was too strong late in the race as he scored by 0.6L as favourite and the rise to 1300m doesn't seem a problem. Looks a classy type and can repeat the dose. MOONWALK (6) gave him something to catch up front, giving a bold sight under CJP to go under narrowly. The inside draw is a big tick for her this time and it wouldn't surprise to see her turn the tables with a weight swing in her favour. PLAYIN'IT SWEET (7) Has been solid in both to date and was closing off well behind Too Darn Stormy last time out. Likely to get back again but she can run over the top to get the job done this time. ELLE VEE (10) looked good at the trials recently and can be on the speed from a good draw. Can make an impression. SUGGESTED PLAY: Too Darn Stormy can remain unbeaten.
1 1 TOO DARN STORMY

Getting off the mark on debut; favourite; came from midfield and won by 0.6 len at Belmont Park 2yo Swp May 24 over 1200m defeating Moonwalk with 57kg at $2.40. Too good on debut and he can go on with the job.

At debut, 5th of 14 at Belmont Park 2yo Swp on May 24 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Too Darn Stormy carrying 57kg at $14. Was solid fresh and looks as though the slight rise in trip is ideal.

First starter by Smart Missile out of Alexandria. Has a total of two trials leading in today's debut. Hasn't shown a great deal in trials leading up to this and inclined to invest in others barring market push.

Had two starts to date. At debut, raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 12 at Ascot 2yo Swp on May 3 over 1100m, slow going 0.9 len behind Capitola carrying 54kg at $6. Last start made ground from midfield; 3rd of 14 at Belmont Park 2yo Swp on May 24 over 1200m, 1.4 len behind Too Darn Stormy carrying 55kg at $4.40. Impressive of late. Comes through the same race as Too Darn Stormy and can feature again.
