PINJARRA SCARPSIDE   09 Apr 2025
 
GOING: G(4)

TABTOUCH SUPPORTS PINJARRA MAIDEN 1200m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: +3m Entire.  

Plenty of pace evident with Hell's Citi and Highly Spoken leading the way from Big Karri and Social Affair. MANGIFERA (11) was last at the raced 87 days ago where she was very impressive and the form out of that race has been very good. She's trialled nicely since that effort and this looks to set up nicely for her. She looks a nice filly on the way up and she can get the job done this time. KARNUP QUEEN (12) ran on strongly from the back of the pack under Faithfull first-up at Narrogin when only 1.9L off the winner. She may be able to sit closer from the barrier this time and she improved nicely second-up last campaign. She'll be hard to hold out if she can improve in similar fashion this time. BANG FOR BUCK (3) has trialled nicely in readiness for this and the form out of his most recent outing worked out well. The outside barrier is a niggle, but he's open to plenty of improvement and he won't be far away. HIGHLY SPOKEN (2) turned in a strong effort fresh and he's not out of this if he can repeat that effort. HELL'S CITI (1) is in the mix in recent form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mangifera can get the job done.
