PINJARRA SCARPSIDE   25 Apr 2025
 
GOING: G(4)

TABTOUCH PAST THE POST PAYOUTS HANDICAP 1200m

Track: Good 4     Rail: +6m Entire.  

Expecting Sanctions to take up the running with Countess Of Kenna and Wineaclocksumwhere close at hand. COUNTESS OF KENNA (5) was very good first-up over 1000m at this track, sticking on well to win by 0.7L. Pike now hops in the saddle as she rises up to 1200m and she did show good improvement second-up last campaign. Maps beautifully and can bring up back-to-back wins. MANGIFERA (7) was too good first-up over this course and distance, sitting just off the speed and winning very easily by 1.4L. The wide draw is a niggle this time, but she's shown adaptability in her races previously. Watch for her late in the race. PATRON EXPRESS (1) was very good in tough company at the end of last campaign and has trialled well coming in. The blinkers go on first time today and he maps to find a good position from the barrier. Can resume with a victory. SANCTIONS (4) was gunned down late fresh but the form out of that race has been franked already. Will prove tough to catch again. PROCESSIO (8) can feature first-up with CJP in the saddle. SUGGESTED PLAY: Countess Of Kenna can win again.
