PINJARRA SCARPSIDE   25 Apr 2025
 
GOING: G(4)

HAPPY RETIREMENT MICHAEL VICKERS MAIDEN 1000m

Track: Good 4     Rail: +6m Entire.  

Anticipating good pressure with many of these at the races for the first time. ADMIRE THE GIRL (6) dipped at the end of last campaign but has started her career in good order prior to that. She's impressed at the trials coming into this campaign with Pike on board and he sticks for her fresh effort. She looks to have plenty of class and looks the one to beat. THE AGENCY (1) just missed in a strong raced first-up last campaign and ran around some nice types to round out the preparation. His trial coming in wasn't all that flash, but he'll be fitter for it and if he can run up to last campaign's fresh rating, he'll go close. RUNALONG WAY (3) was only fair in his first trial last year, but he looks a better horse this time in work, catching the eye in his most recent outing. He's a half to Listed winner Black Fantasy and he can put his best foot forward on debut. ELVIRA STAR (7) showed enough on debut over this course and distance as a 40-1 chance and won't be far away again. AREDUET (5) drops right back in grade first-up and can be in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Admire The Girl.
