Pinjarra Scarpside tips and results

Our price $4.50 · SP $3.20 · Steven Parnham

While the two consecutive seconds on soft tracks show improvement, his complete lack of success on Good tracks (2:0-0-0) is a major red flag for today's Good 4 surface. The step from 1300m to 1600m is substantial for a lightly-raced 3YO. The gear change (blinkers off, winkers on) could help, but it's speculative. Barrier 1 in a moderate tempo race isn't ideal.

American Image presents strong value as the second selection despite limited experience. The 54kg weight is the lightest in the field, and second-up runners typically improve. While the distance rise to 1400m is untested, the pedigree and connections suggest capability.

Mystic Chaos offers solid each-way value based on proven form at this exact track and distance. While the wide barrier (14) is a concern, the filly has shown ability to overcome positional challenges. The 2kg weight relief (56kg) is advantageous, and Johnston-Porter's 13% track strike rate provides confidence. Recent Bunbury run (7th) can be forgiven given the Soft 6 conditions.

Our price $6.00 · SP $13.00 · Lucy F Fiore

The barrier 3 draw is a significant advantage at Pinjarra Scarpside, and Fiore's 11% track strike rate provides confidence. While unproven at 1400m, the filly has shown adaptability across distances (1000m-1300m). The 2kg weight relief and quality pedigree suggest capability to handle the step up. Represents strong each-way value as a potential roughie with genuine place prospects and outside winning chance if the race unfolds favourably.

Sassy Snippet offers compelling value as the only runner with a winning record at this exact track and distance. Her last-start maiden victory at Pinjarra Scarpside over 1400m demonstrates she handles the course perfectly. The progressive form line (4-2-1) shows clear improvement, and her 67% place rate indicates consistency. While stepping up from maiden grade, the class rise is manageable given her track advantage. Brad Parnham's 19% strike rate at Pinjarra Scarpside is a significant positive. The barrier 6 draw allows her to settle in the ideal midfield position for the 400m sprint zone. Despite limited exposure, her specific course advantage and improving trajectory make her a strong each-way proposition.

Enchanted Hour represents a high-risk, high-reward proposition as an unbeaten debutant winner. Her maiden victory at Bunbury over 1400m showed genuine ability, winning narrowly from barrier 15 which demonstrates tactical versatility. The elite Johnston-Porter/Grantham combination (22% strike rate) is a major positive, and the trainer's provincial record suggests horses are well-prepared. However, critical concerns exist: she won on Soft 6 and has no Good track experience, and the minimal form reference (only 1 start) makes assessment difficult. The barrier 3 draw is ideal for settling on-pace in the slow tempo, but the track condition change and lack of exposed form create uncertainty. She's a place chance rather than a confident win selection.

Our price $5.50 · SP $3.10 · Jefferson Tsang

His second-up record is outstanding (1 win, 1 second from 2 attempts), and he's proven at 1400m with consistent performances. The lack of Pinjarra Scarpside experience is also a concern. He's a solid each-way chance if the pace sets up favorably.

Our price $3.50 · SP $4.20 · Austin Galati

Saigon Dancer has been racing consistently, finishing 2nd at this track and distance last start. She is the most reliable winning chance based on recent form and class.

Our price $5.00 · SP $5.50 · Clint Johnston-Porter

Miss Finkmeyer drops sharply from Open grade to Class 1, where she previously ran 2nd and 3rd. Her last run was poor but in much stronger company. From barrier 3 she can settle handily.

Our price $2.80 · SP $2.70 · Lucy F Fiore

Dance On Son presents as the most likely winner based on form trajectory and race setup. The gelding won impressively last start at Bunbury and benefits enormously from barrier 1, which is crucial at Pinjarra where settling on-pace by the 400m mark is decisive. Second up from spell with a maiden win under his belt, he's stepping up in class but the moderate tempo and clean map suit his racing pattern. The Fiore/McAuliffe combination is reliable, and while the class rise is a query, his recent improvement curve and tactical advantage outweigh concerns.

Our price $6.50 · SP $6.50 · Patrick Carbery

Brave Wasp brings strong recent form and excellent connections but faces a significant barrier challenge. The gelding ran well for 3rd in Class 3 last start and drops back to Class 1, which is a positive class move. The Carbery/Pateman combination is highly effective (21% strike rate), and the horse shows consistent placing ability. However, barrier 11 at Pinjarra is a major concern—the track bias favours middle draws and settling on-pace by the 400m mark. From this gate, he'll likely settle further back than ideal, and while he can finish strongly, the track pattern doesn't favour backmarkers. The step up to 1200m is also untested. If he can overcome the draw, he's competitive, but the tactical disadvantage is significant.

Our price $7.00 · SP $11.00 · Paul Harvey

The Harvey/Harrison combination is highly effective (23% strike rate), and the horse has shown he can handle this level. However, barrier 13 is a significant negative—it's the widest draw and conflicts with Pinjarra's bias favouring middle barriers and on-pace runners. From this gate, he'll likely settle back and need luck in running. The track condition change from soft (last start) to good is also a minor concern.

Our price $3.50 · SP $6.50 · Steven Parnham

Dominatus is a talented 3yo colt dropping sharply in class after competing in Listed races. Drawn ideally in barrier 4 with Steven Parnham aboard, he should settle on-pace and be strong at the 400m. His form on Good tracks is credible, and the drop to a Rest 0 Metro Win race makes him the one to beat. The main question is his age against older rivals, but class suggests he's up to it.

Our price $4.50 · SP $11.00 · Troy Turner

Ton Of Grunt is a major threat after his last-start victory in Class 3 company. He drops significantly in grade to this Rest 0 Metro Win race and draws perfectly in barrier 1, allowing him to lead or sit on-speed at a track that favours that style. If he repeats that performance, he can win.

Our price $12.00 · SP $26.00 · Laqdar Ramoly

Yarralea is a genuine value runner. She is second-up today, a scenario where she has a 40% win rate and 60% place record. She ran on well fresh over 1000m and will be fitter for 1400m. She drops in class and has Laqdar Ramoly aboard.

Our price $3.50 · SP $4.60 · Zephen Johnston-Porter

Mighty Hosanna returns to a track where she has a win and a second from two starts. She drops in class from a Rest 1 Metro Win and gets a 2kg apprentice claim, effectively carrying 55.5kg. Maps to lead or sit close in a moderate tempo race. While recent form is average, she is well placed here and represents good value.

Our price $10.00 · SP $21.00 · Brad Parnham

Mantua is an inconsistent galloper but showed his best when running on for 3rd two starts back in a similar Class 3 at Belmont. He gets in light with 55.5kg and has a quality jockey in Brad Parnham.

Our price $4.00 · SP $4.20 · Clint Johnston-Porter

Media Mogul fits the ideal winning profile: on-speed, drawn barrier 3, and proven at Pinjarra Scarpside. He drops in class after consistent runs in stronger company, including consecutive placings. The track bias favours forward runners from middle barriers, and he should be prominent throughout. Strongest win chance.

Our price $5.00 · SP $3.60 · Lucy F Fiore

Sisu Spirit is a class riser from NSW metro BM72 races, now in a far weaker Class 3. His first-up statistics are solid (1 win, 1 placing from 3), and he has genuine ability. The main concerns are the long layoff and lack of form at the distance. Still, the class edge makes him a major threat, likely improving into the race.

Our price $8.00 · SP $7.50 · Brad Parnham

So Much Serenity is an improving 3yo filly who broke through last start with a tough on-pace win. She steps up in class but brings strong momentum and a jockey who knows the track well. The fast tempo should suit her running style if she can slot in behind the speed. She is a genuine place hope with upside.
