GOING: G(4)

PINJARRA CUP DAY FELIX PLAYING AFTER THE LAST HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: +6m Entire.  

Pace looks genuine from The Scholar, Media Mogul and Geronimo Magic, closely attended by Cosmic Waltz. PEACEFUL RULER (3) made an impression, comfortably winning a Bunbury Maiden on debut. Resumed owning a Lark Hill trial win and missed 1L at over 1300m at Belmont. Overcame a tough run and with the extra fitness he can take this out. MEDIA MOGUL (2) raced forward and improved sharply easily winning his Maiden over 1200m at a short quote. The money came again at Belmont following where he led beaten a nose. Peaks today and is a decent chance to bounce. ROMANCE CALLING (7) has needed her two runs this preparation. She posted a competitive number winning a Northam Maiden at her only third-up outing. Has 3kg weight relief, maps well and the tongue tie is applied for the first time. THE SCHOLAR (1) will use the inside gate to advantage and finds easier. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Peaceful Ruler to win.

Key runner and should be right in the finish.

Second-up. First-up after five months second last of 9 at Ascot Cl3 on February 15 over 1200m, 7 len behind Magical Sequence with 54kg at $201. Previously second-up ran last of 12 at Pinjarra Cl1 on August 20 over 1300m, on a wet track; 14 len behind Pat's Last Bang carrying 57kg at $41. Looks a fair way off peak form so others are preferred.
