PINJARRA SCARPSIDE   27 Apr 2026
 
GOING: G(4)

SWAN DRAUGHT AVAILABLE ON TAP MAIDEN 1300m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: +6m Entire.  

Pace solid from Bondi Business going forward from an outside draw along with Cangrande. SPECIAL COUNSEL (6) rattled home to just miss when resuming earlier this month. Draws to get back again but will be eating up the extra 100m and gets best in the biz in Pike to navigate. Watch for him rounding them up. LORD MOMO (4) was good on debut back in December when narrowly missing. Has ben readied with two hitouts and draws the A1. Taking seriously. I LOVE YA MONEY (8) couldn't live up to market expectation on debut at Albany but did warm nicely late. Is sure to be better with that run under his belt and if Fiore can utilise the draw this time he will take some stopping. GODLESS STORM (2) is proving his own worst enemy at the moment, getting too far back from tricky draws admittedly. Fairs better this time from a middle draw and is a chance to pounce on them if close enough when they sprint. MISS GRAPHENE (11) returns short of what looks like a preferred trip for her but is a chance to cause a scare late if they overdo it in front. Keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lean towards Special Counsel and Pike.
