Matt Young’s Monday Pinjarra Preview Posted on October 12, 2026October 12, 2026 | Posted by Matt Young Race 1 CRÈME BRULEE (4) trialled up solidly enough for this and looks to have upside coming in, has the draw advantage and looks hard to beat. REINE DU SOLEIL (6) has always shown ability and produced a good return run on the track, should bounce off that well and looks the main danger. BELLE SABREUSE (1) has shown enough at trials to suggest novelty claims from the good draw on debut and CAPTAINS DARLING (3) has also shown enough, both are a watch to see how much they improve in their opening runs. GRACIOUS GABBY (8) and MISS AURA (9) novelty chances. Tips: 4 6 1 3 Suggested Bet: CRÈME BRULEE/REINE DU SOLEIL to Quinella. Race 2 SUNNYS LITTLE ROSE (4) will be benefitted from the first up effort and has the draw advantage back to a mobile, expecting a strong performance from the mare in this. SKY EAGLE (6) is racing in top form and must be respected again, will head forward and race close to the speed. JUSTLIKEFLAIR (9) will be running on well, drawn to follow through and be close enough in the run. LUVAFLAIR (7) is not at her best, but this grade is up her alley to improve. LAVRADORE (8) needs some luck from the draw but expected to run on with SELLUNE (10) and BEE BEE BEROC (11) both drawn awkwardly. Tips: 4 6 9 7 Suggested Bet: SUNNYS LITTLE ROSE (4) to win. Race 3 THE SEA SIREN (6) has come back in good form, will be driven forward like the best horse in the race and expecting her to run to the lead and get the victory in this. Sara Grout takes the drive for Dylan Egerton-Green but important to note she has driven the horse before and won on the horse. KATAMA (9) has the ability, form wouldn’t read up that flash but her best runs have almost been trials at this track, expected improver. NOT SO SWEET (8) needs some luck from the draw but has the high speed to bring her into it late. SHERICKA (2) caught the eye Saturday and is a novelty chance with HIGHVIEW ROZI (3), NOD FROM ABOVE (4) and MUNDI MISS (5) can be included in top 4 chances at big odds. Tips: 6 9 8 4 Suggested Bet: THE SEA SIREN (6) to win. Race 4 (Best Bet) HE IS TALKING (10) has been racing some of the best 3yo’s in recent runs and is a strong type dropping back in class here, even from the draw I feel he is the one to beat. MATERNAL DREAMS (2) is highly capable and looks the likely leader but may be challenged early by MY MACHANE (3) who was a good effort on return, should bounce off that well and be around the mark. NITE SNIPER (1) chased on well in a recent trial and expect him to be a top 4 player from the draw. CINCH (5) going well enough but just looks a tricky map. CEASE TO REACT (8) and MISS BEJEWELED (9) both likely to run on well. Tips: 10 2 3 1 Suggested Bet: HE IS TALKING (10) to win. Race 5 How do you go past DELTARIFFIC (11) who covered them with a scintillating turn of foot last start and dominated, he just looks too fast for his rivals even though this is a bigger field. METHUSELAH (7) is a talented type on return, looks a solid chance to work to the top and give them something to catch. IDEAL AN ACE (6) can improve in this, likely heads forward and races on speed. BEAU TOULOUSE (5), ROMAN GUARD (9) and FEAR THE STORM (10) next best to fill the novelties. Tips: 11 7 6 10 Suggested Bet: DELTARIFFIC (11) to win. Race 6 DAMAGE DONE (5) will be coming out hard and looking for the top here but he is a very much, chips in, straight out bet as if he leads in a lightning lap he can win otherwise, he won’t run a place, makes it hard to tip him. SHESA ENCHANTRESS (4) will be coming out hard; she was a great effort last time out and will be in the thick of it. THE MERCENARY (1) will also be trying to lead, has the nice draw and will settle close enough either way. OAKLEY (8) drawn to get a soft run but is hard to tip as he finds it hard to break through. CROWDED REACTOR (9) has come back well, will be running on with IDONTWANABEAPIRATE (6) and LOWLANDS BEACH BOY (2) has rough claims as he is racing well enough. Tips: 5 1 4 8 Suggested Bet: THE MERCENARY (1) each way. Race 7 DUNKALLEDY (7) should charge across and get to the top, he will be benefitted by the first up run and looks hard to beat again in this. WICKED WINDERMERE (3) broke through last start and even though up in grade, expecting him to feature in the money again. ALWAYSBFRANK (2) needs to lift off a moderate first up effort, his gate speed but just average as well. GRACEFUL SHARK (1) has the good draw to lead early and be on speed and be a novelty player. CLASSICAL ELLIE (11) will be running on well but needs tempo to suit, as does TOMMY PRICE (12) but he can sneak under the guard and be a silly price and is one to play if you’re looking for a roughie. Tips: 7 3 1 12 Suggested Bet: WICKED WINDERMERE (3) to place. Race 8 Short course stand makes it harder for the backmarkers here. CALL TO ARMS (2) needs a safe getaway but if he could work his way to the top and lead this, I expect him to run a big race. MAJOR FREEWAY (11) is an enormous horse who put up an enormous run on Saturday at Northam off 80m, he can win but needs some things to go his way. DEL BOCAVAVISTA BAY (10) dominated on Saturday as he had been showing signs of returning to his best, handicap and overall standing start manners are his concern here. FRANCO MECCA (9) will be running on well; he was a metro winner on Friday night. KEEGAN BANNER (8) could improve and is a chance with SYNCHRONIZER (3) and TRIROYALE BRIGADE (6). Tips: 2 11 9 10 Suggested Bet: CALL TO ARMS (2) each way. Race 9 CIGANDA (5) will look to use her speed and charge across to the top here and be on speed, likely takes cover and then looks to get them late, she is racing well and looks hard to hold out. CATCH THE RED EYE (6) has come back with two wins, this looks tougher class wise, but she is a big chance to find the top. FLOAT MY BOAT (3) can mix his early speed but got out the gate better last run, he is ready to win if he can get into a good position. DREAM CONTROL (1) ideally drawn, looks a novelty chance in this. THE BETTOR SIDE (7) returns and rarely runs a bad race. BALINGUP BOY (8) needs some things to go his way but will run well. Tips: 5 6 3 7 Suggested Bet: CIGANDA (5) each way.
