PINJARRA SCARPSIDE   05 Mar 2026
 
GOING: G(4)

TABTOUCH PINJARRA CUP SUNDAY MARCH 22 MAIDEN 1200m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: +6m Entire.  

Media Club is the likely leader at a keen tempo. PERFECTLY PROPER (8) is third-up and should be ready to fire. Is Stakes placed and has raced well enough twice at Group level. Needed the outing in the rich Magic Millions 3yo Trophy second-up and Chris Parnham is reunited. The one to beat at best. MEDIA CLUB (9) resumes and is a promising filly who will be naturally improved. Went close in stronger at Belmont when last seen and three back just missed here on the main course on debut. Carries 55kg and looks well placed. DESERT ORA (10) came from a mile back beaten 1L at Bunbury on debut and then came hard again missing 0.9L at Belmont. She's got upside and is well in the mix. TWO UP BOOM (4) resumes for the top metro stable and Pike stick from the three trials. That's a lead and the tongue tie is on. The betting will be key with him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Perfectly Proper will take beating if presented on song.
