PINJARRA SCARPSIDE   02 Aug 2025
 
GOING: S(7)

JOCKEY CELEBRATION DAY STAKES 1400m

Track: SOFT 7     Rail: True.  

Strong tempo assured with Lord Gannicus and Multinational leading the way over Investmentstrategy. INVESTMENTSTRATEGY (5) resumes today on the back of a nice trial win last month. He's never really fired first-up, but this looks a very suitable race on resumption as gets in at the bottom of the handicap. The draw should see him close to the speed and if he's up to the mark fresh, he'll take beating. VAST ART (1) was very good first-up in the H.G. Bolton when finishing off powerfully over 1200m. Up in trip is a big tick for him and he's placed 3/5 second-up. Laid the foundations last start and can go one better this time around. MULTINATIONAL (3) just missed two back before getting the job done in heavy going at Pinjarra last start. That was over the mile, though he's now 42 days between runs and he maps to find the front. Can give a bold sight. SENSESSIONAL (4) tends to go well fresh and the soggy conditions won't hurt. Can feature with Pike on. LORD GANNICUS (9) surprised last start but turned in a strong figure and can feature again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Investment Strategy gets the nod.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 42-day let-up. Last start raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a nose at Pinjarra Rtg 78+ June 21 over 1600m on a heavy track defeating Noteworthy with 56.5kg at $7.50. Before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 15 at Pinjarra Scarpside Rtg 78+ on June 7 over 1400m, 1.1 len behind Luvnwar carrying 56.5kg at $21. Comes into this on the fresh side and can repeat the dose.

Recent form sound. Most recently won by 0.7 len at Pinjarra Rtg 72+ July 5 over 1600m in soft going defeating First Encounter carrying 58kg at $26. Before that 2nd of 12 at Bunbury Rtg 66+ on June 14 over 1690m, on a slow track; nose behind Famous Dain with 60kg at $19. Unlikely win last start but the figures were strong and he's not out of this.
