Aug 9 Perth form analysis of all eight Pinjarra races
RACE 5 (1) CASTLE ROAD will see many shy away from him for the 61kg but it is 1,000m and he is a Stakes winner taking on maidens. He beat subsequent Karrakatta Plate placegetter and Sires Produces Stakes winner Just Too Fly by nearly 3.5L in the Perth Stakes and he is a classy sprinter. (7) COSMIC TREAT is on debut and heads to the races this preparation off only a 400m jumpout, but she has always shown ability. (5) DESERT LIFE was scratched from Aug 7 to save for this. (4) SUNSET SESSION beat a winner in his recent trial. RACE 7 (3) NOBLE CONNECTION was still able to reel them in last start, even if the first 900m was run six lengths slower than average. He is flying and the new season four-year-olds have an outstanding record in Westspeed Platinum grade this time of year. Drawn a bit sticky but expecting a three-deep line to build. (4) CATCH THESE HANDS got to the line well fresh and all eight wins are in blinkers. Important gear change. (6) ROCK IN WONDER is always a winning chance with his free-wheeling racing pattern and should not absorb much pressure. (7) DECISION MAKER has come back bigger and better this time in. RACE 9 (1) LORD GANNICUS was beaten a nose by Famous Dain three starts ago and gets a 4kg swing in the weights to try and turn the tables. Since then, he has led and won beating First Encounter and last weekend led in the 84+ when beaten under 1.5L by Sensessional. He has backed up three times for one win and two minors and is in career-best form. (2) COOL MEMORY will need to be tough to breeze and win. (4) FAMOUS DAIN looked the mapped horse last start and got every favour. This looks a lot trickier but still has claims. (3) SUNNY HONEY is a query at the mile. RACE 11 (1) TRUE PLAYER is the progressive stayer in the race and, with the tongue tie going on, maybe there is an excuse to be made for his last-start failure. Query on the wet tracks but he is worth another chance. (2) ALASKAN is racing below his best. However, he also did not fire a shot last preparation until he was fifth-up over 2,200m when running third in a 66+. Timing is right for a sharp improvement. (3) MANZOR MAGIC was all the rage last weekend but never got into the contest and now loses William Pike. (4) LONG GENES is getting closer. RACE 13 (Best Bet) (10) SUNLIT FRESCO fits the profile of a Belmont 1,000m winner. This is a wet-track proven, high-speed mare who trialled super recently at Lark Hill and resumes with only 54.5kg on her back. (6) HORCRUX maps to get the drop on the speed pair and ran well last start from that position. Looks the danger. (7) EARTH GOD can come across from his wide gate and park up over the speed as well. (2) MADHI GIRL does it tough with 59kg. RACE 15 (3) SOLDANELLE made a brilliant return to racing, however, she does feel like a very risky betting proposition because she has burnt punters a few times over the journey. Trainer Stefan Vahala has now conceded that she does not stay and she is best ridden cold over the shorter trips. (6) ESSENTRIC NATURE was sent out as favourite in a 66+ that contained Want A Winner on his return to racing. Second-up he gets out to a more suitable 1,400m, he drops into a 60+ Graduation. Just barrier 15/15 and where he gets to are a query. (5) CRUISE TO VICTORY has raced well all campaign. (13) WHERE'S MY LUNCH would like it to pour during the meeting. RACE 17 (12) STORMCHASER returned in outstanding order first-up for Luke Fernie last campaign at 1,200m and won against the pattern from the back. This is the campaign that he can stand up and prove himself at this level. Was only two lengths off Luvnwar and Toropa last start and conceded them both weight. That form measures up. (4) WIND AND THE LION beat the older horses in the H.G. Bolton and did not look to handle the track conditions that well either. Super win. (10) PETULA is building in confidence again. (6) PULI gets conditions to suit and bears watching. RACE 18 (4) WANT A WINNER travelled like the winner from start to finish last race, when breezing on top of a genuine tempo and holding off the late challenge of horses who had far more economical runs than him in transit. If he marches forward into a similar stalking position, following up behind King Adviso and Dirty Chai, he will be hard to beat again. (8) SUPERNATURAL had her colours lowered last start in a 72+. Back in grade and will charge late if they overcook it. (1) DESERT NYMPH is a wet-track specialist. If she gets a Soft 6 or worse, she will run well and can even test the first two. (10) DIRTY CHAI has won five on the bounce in the country/provincial area and smashed the clock each time. Comments courtesy of Racing WA
