PINJARRA SCARPSIDE   02 May 2024
 
GOING: S(5)

J K WATTS MEMORIAL HANDICAP 1600m

Track: SOFT 5     Rail: Out 7m Entire.  

Genuine tempo with Divine Inanna leading Imperialize. IMPERIALIZE (1) won a strong form race here this grade and then lifted his figures again beaten 2L in a no-metro-win at Ascot. Finds easier and will sit on-pace from the inside gate. He's capable of bouncing back. The speedy DIVINE INANNA (2) was caught late in a CL5 on the main course last time but won here prior and that reads well. She can control the race and comes back in grade with a 3kg claim engaged. Go close. ALLEGRO SONATA (4) was better again narrowly beaten this level at Ascot. She's also been kept on the fresh side and will present at peak fitness. A chance. STATE OF FURY (6) steps up in grade following a nice effort at Ascot and is on the quick backup. CJP sticks and she has weight relief. Can't be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Imperialize.
