PINJARRA SCARPSIDE   19 Jun 2025
 
GOING: S(7)

ESSENTIAL AIRCOR SERVICES MAIDEN 1500m

Track: Soft 7     Rail: +8m Entire.  

Moderate pace only with Disco Kicks leading Romantic Ruler. IMPRESSIVE JEWEL (5) jumped favourite at Northam first-up and just peaked on the run late when beaten 0.4L. She'll be fitter for that effort with only one trial coming in and that form has already been franked. Ticks plenty of boxes up in trip and can go one better this time. ROMANTIC RULER (1) sat on the speed and was only 1.8L behind the Raconteur Stakes winner Opportunistic 22 days ago, with that form working out very well. Should be nearing his peak third-up and although he's had a few chances, he rates very highly on his latest effort. GOLD ENIGMA (9) bumped into a smart one at Northam last start over the mile when sticking on to the line. She now gets Pike in the saddle back to 1500m and with plenty of improvement expected, she'll play a major role. CHIN CHIN (3) gets the blinkers on for his fresh effort and won't be far away. IFF YOU'RE READY (7) was solid first-up from a long way back and has to be included out in trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Impressive Jewel looks the one to beat.
