PINJARRA SCARPSIDE   27 Apr 2026
 
GOING: G(4)

VALE BILL POPE MAIDEN 1300m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: +6m Entire.  

Tricky one to map with a number of debutants but over this trip there is good speed anticipated. BOUTIQUE BELLE (10) made good late ground last start to grab second over 1200m here. Peaking now fourth-up and draws kinder for Pike. Looks the one to beat. PHOTOSYNTHESIS (12) fair debut when fifth at Ascot over 1200m starting at $17. Gets the blinkers applied and can only be improved. UNIVERSAL TALK (1) was prominent at the turn and finished third last time. Strips fitter third-up and there's no reason he can't go a couple better. ARTIE'S AFFAIR (5) three-year-old gelding (Artie Schiller - First Affair) will no doubt benefit from the three trials leading in today's debut. Watch for any market confidence. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boutique Belle to win.

Third-up today. First-up did the work up front then tired 9th of 16 at Pinjarra Mdn on March 22 over 1300m, 6 len behind Wheely with 57kg at $11. Second-up sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 12 at Pinjarra Mdn on April 8 over 1200m, 0.9 len behind Kanas Mtoto with 57.5kg at $6.50. Shows promise. The maiden win looks imminent.

Three-year-old gelding (Artie Schiller - First Affair) will no doubt benefit from the three trials leading in today's debut. Sixth at Lark Hill in a 950m trial on April 7. Prefer to let go without a strong market move.
