PINJARRA SCARPSIDE   31 May 2025
 
GOING: S(6)

HAHN SUPER DRY 3.5 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: SOFT5     Rail: +2m Entire.  

From the wide draw Dug Another Hole can cross and set up a solid tempo. Going with CAMERA ACTION (8) in the last race of the day following a 1.2L victory in very good fashion a fortnight ago. She settled back in the run but blew her rivals out of the water over this trip. The big Scarpside track is a tick and now she draws a much better gate. Looks ready to go back-to-back. DUG ANOTHER HOLE (4) has the speed to roll across and set the tempo, which has proven a good play for him in recent starts. He was only caught late last start and was beaten just 0.5L the effort prior. Hard to knock on recent form and will take catching again. DUN WITH THE BLUES (6) hit the line nicely in a recent trial at Lark Hill and the booking of Pike is a strong push for her chances first-up. She's won 2/4 fresh and finds a very suitable race to return on a winning note. SPEED DREAM (1) got the job done narrowly last start and will be flying late once again. ROMMING DANGER (11) is set to peak now third-up and out in trip and creates interest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Camera Action can win again.

Recent form sound. Last start was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by a nose at Belmont Park Rtg 65+ May 17 over 1400m defeating Correct Choice carrying 60kg at $5.50. Before that came home strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 10 at Ascot Rtg 72+ on May 10 over 1400m, 1.0 len behind Siberian Siren with 55kg at $26. Wouldn't surprise to see him go back-to-back.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign when last of 10 at Carnarvon Carnarvon Cup September 14 over 2000m, 31 len behind Gambler's Gold carrying 56.5kg at $12. When resuming last campaign fourth of 8 at Ascot Rtg 70+ January 6 2024 over 1600m, 1.4 len behind Currimundi carrying 55kg at $11. This race is tougher than what he was up against last time in and hard to imagine he'll play a role in this.
