PINJARRA SCARPSIDE   03 Apr 2025
 
GOING: G(4)

STATE WIDE TURF SERVICES HANDICAP 1600m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: +3m Entire.  

Moderate pace only with Lombadina leading Special View. GOLDEN DORE (2) has been knocking on the door recently and maps for a much better run in transit this time. The inside draw is a big tick and he's been favourite his past couple. Back to an easier race now and he can return to winning ways. BLACK FOR CASH (5) got a long way back at Ascot last start but it didn't matter as he picked up his rivals and spat them out over this trip, winning by 3L. While he's likely to get back again, he looks well placed in this race and he can storm over the top to win again. LOMBADINA (6) may have ended up in the slow going out wide at Belmont last start and stretches up to the mile now. CJP hops back in the saddle and a return to her best form would see her hard to hold out. MY JIMMY (8) has been around the mark for a while now and he can be thereabouts again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Golden Dore can get the job done.
