PINJARRA SCARPSIDE   09 Apr 2025
 
GOING: G(4)

INTEGRA INSURANCE BROKERS HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: +3m Entire.  

Pace looks to be genuine with Tallangatta and Zac Luvs To Fly matching motors in advance of Kiralui and Salvado. KIRALUI (2) won impressively first-up before a good effort 21 days ago at Ascot. The form out of that race worked out well and she's a third-up winner in the past. Maps to get every chance once again and with her different formlines, that makes her very appealing. TOURETTO (3) has been a bit of a tease lately, though dropping back to this trip may see him back to winning ways. He was too far back to threaten most recently and now he maps to sit closer. Can return to winning form. CLOSE AT HAND (1) beat home Touretto two starts ago before a 3.3L defeat at Ascot last time out. That form looks very strong and he's nicely placed after the claim of Cooper. Watch for him finishing off over the top. TALLANGATTA (8) couldn't bring up back-to-back wins when beaten narrowly last start. Can give a bold sight from the front once again. INVINCIBLE RUBY (4) is better than she showed last time out and won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Kiralui to win.
