PINJARRA SCARPSIDE   07 Jun 2025
 
GOING: S(5)

HYGAIN HANDICAP 1400m

Track: SOFT 5     Rail: +3m Entire.  

Strong pace with Frigid, Playhouse Patron and Pompey paving the way. MISS SKYHIGH (10) showed plenty in her latest campaign when narrowly beaten in the La Trice at G3 level to end last preparation. She worked through the grades impressively and looks to be on song judging by her recent trials. Pike rides first-up and she can resume on a winning note. LUVNWAR (3) flew home over the top to score here first-up 10 days ago, winning by 1.1L with plenty of improvement to come. She's won 2/3 second-up and CJP remains in the saddle in a race that maps similarly. Can make it back-to-back wins without surprising. SUPERSESSION (14) is knocking on the door of another win and should be flying home yet again. POMPEY (4) has trialled well coming in and can play a role first-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Miss Skyhigh in the final race of the day.
