PINJARRA SCARPSIDE   05 Mar 2026
 
GOING: G(4)

SWAN DRAUGHT MAIDEN 1400m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: +6m Entire.  

Reasonable tempo with Batista probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. ABOUT TURN (4) resumed in better class here over 1300m and found one 3L too good. Covered the others and is sure to have taken improvement. He's capable of using the inside barrier and can go one better. Wary of BATISTA (6) with the gun hoop engaged. Ran an encouraging race at Ascot on debut in better than this and then rode the speed here over 1400m and offered little easily accounted for. Presents fitter and is likely to take a sit today. A sharper effort is on the cards. XELCIMUS (8) has been threatening from wide barriers and came from a mile back beaten less than 2L at Ascot last time. Should enjoy a softer run today and over the longer sprint has to be considered. BEYOND THE LIMITS (5) would be in the finish at best and can show more third-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: About Turn appeals most.
