PINJARRA SCARPSIDE   07 Jun 2025
 
GOING: S(5)

SWAN DRAUGHT HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT 5     Rail: +3m Entire.  

Pace genuine with Exceltrain and Sunbronzed pressing hard closely followed by Sky Duke and Beau Zoom. WUBIN GOLD (4) flew home first-up over this course and distance and posted some fast splits in doing so. She's unbeaten second-up in her career and the fresh run suggested she can go to a new level this time in. Can finish off strongly and get the job done again. OBJECTIFY (10) pulled up with an issue first-up at Ascot and has been freshened since that performance. She does go well on the fresh side and she has plenty of market support on that occasion. Maps for a perfect run and can bounce back in a big way. SKY DUKE (3) was very good over this trip at Belmont 21 days ago, running away to score by 1.9L. Steve Parnham replaces the apprentice hoop in a good push for his chances and he'll be thereabouts once again. SUNBRONZED (7) won well here last start and is not to be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Wubin Gold can make it 4/4 second-up.
