Matt Young’s Monday Pinjarra Preview Posted on August 18, 2025August 18, 2025 | Posted by Matt Young Race 1 IN RARE AIR (10) has been impressive in both of his wins and has the form that is hard to knock, he’s also got race fitness over one of his key rivals here and that could be telling late. The key rival is WAVES OF FORTUNE (7) who shows great promise but returns from an outside draw, can overcome the challenge. SPOT ON MOLLY (1) was good in her most recent performance but faces a bigger challenge here, looks more of a novelty hope with DROP THE ACE (2) who is consistent but steps up to the middle distance for the first time. THE FINAL OFFER (8) is knocking on the door and likely to have the last crack at them again. CRUNCHEM (6) comes in fresh but appears above average off his only two runs. WAKE UP GEOFF (5) should be thrown into the novelties at longer odds as he has good ability but can be a bit hit and miss so far. Tips: 10 7 8 6 Suggested Bet: IN RARE AIR (10) to win. Race 2 DREAMBIGAIMHIGH (7) is racing well, and this looks a suitable drop back in grade, will likely be driven like his most recent wins and come with one run but is capable. YOUR KIDDING (5) likes the short course stands and normally begins well and can be up there, should run a bold race. LAVRADORE (1) disappointed last time out but he is now in a short course stand, so we will give him another chance. TILTHESUNSETS (3) comes into discussion for the novelties as he is normally reliable away also. ELISH STAR (4) mixes his form these days, if he is switched on, he can earn. SELLUNE (8) will be running on and run his usual consistent race. Tips: 7 5 8 1 Suggested Bet: DREAMBIGAIMHIGH (7) to win. Race 3 MISS VINCENZA (2) looks to have found a nice race on return, has the draw and looks to be hard to hold out in this race. NOT FOR NOW (4) has done nothing wrong in her only two runs, she will be further benefitted by the experience and won’t be far away. DELIVER ROCKNROLL (1) was better a few starts ago and can feature from the draw along with stablemate NO MESSING ABOUT (5) who has been consistent but faces a tricky assignment early. ELVIRA JANE (7) has a horror draw but this is the right grade. ESSENCE OF ROYALTY (8) was sound in a recent trial and should follow through nicely. Tips: 2 4 1 8 Suggested Bet: MISS VINCENZA (2) to win. Race 4 KARAOKE STAR (8) is starting to show a solid trend of strong performances at the short course races in his career moving forward, most important to note is that he can driven in a forward manner and rely on some heart, looks hard to beat here. SPINNER OF YARNS (6) is getting back to more consistent form and don’t think he’ll be too far away. BEALAWYER (9) is a consistent type but needs a bit to go right from the draw. IM DRINKINDOUBLES (7) would be very hard to beat in this if he was able to lead but I have concerns about that happening, his better form this time in has been at this trip recently. RADIANT BAY (5) was better in her recent runs, novelty chance. Tips: 8 6 9 7 Suggested Bet: KARAOKE STAR (8) to win. Race 5 LITTLE MISS MOLLY (2) has ran well in her only two runs for Aiden De Campo and has been driven in a forward manner, expecting young Ajay Markham to fire her to the top here and from there she will be hard to beat, she really stretched the neck of Fabulous Dream in her most recent run and I have a high opinion of that filly. CIGANDA (1) can mix her form but this is the perfect draw for her, likely to take the cover and have the last crack. FLOAT MY BOAT (8) has the ability and can be dangerous but he has been naughty in recent efforts off the gate, so that creates a distrust. AKOYA PEARL (6) is second up and can do the work, which will be required. DUNCAN TWENTYTWO (11) is capable but the draw hurts. Novelty chances to ROCKY MAGUIRE (9) and CAPTAIN PAPRIKA (10). Tips: 2 1 8 6 Suggested Bet: LITTLE MISS MOLLY (2) to win. Race 6 IM EUGENE (2) looks suited here, his last few runs have been solid and he has options, can use his gate speed and go from there, think he’ll be running in the top 2 from the draw. IWILL NEVER KNOW (4) the most likely aggressor, does race well at this trip and likely to stick on strongly in this. BLOCKJORG (5) is a short course type of horse, but she has a draw where she could find it difficult as it looks unlikely for her to lead. ZLATO (3) racing well, novelty chance from the draw with CODENAME ELLIOT (1) who can improve by virtue of the barrier draw. STAPLETON (7) is a short course specialist, but the draw hurts him in terms of being a strong winning chance. Tips: 2 4 7 5 Suggested Bet: IM EUGENE (2) each way. Race 7 SOHO VESPER LIND (1) has the draw again and is likely looking to hand up around the bigger track and she seems to be racing well with a sit, should be close enough to be dangerous again. DOUSEEME (3) is racing well and will be heading forward, bit of a question mark over HER PRESENCE (2) gate speed so there could be a little bit happening with both of those horses strong winning chances if they able to lead. HUNT THE MAGIC (5) can watch things unfold and get home strongly. OFF THE CHARTS (6) is second up, tricky draw to overcome and his first up run was sound. SHES A TINY DANCER (7) is consistent, but this is a more challenging race. TRIROYALE BRIGADE (9) improving with more runs, is a place hope, can punch through early and lob handy. Tips: 1 5 3 2 Suggested Bet: SOHO VESPER LIND (1) each way. Race 8 Open race. In terms of early speed SPORTING GRACE (3) likes to roll forward and looks likely to lead early and she can get keen which sees her struggle to finish out the middle distance. This makes it better for the back markers to come into play. RONALD SCOTT (12) has yet to come back to his best but looks a decent change, I also really liked the way CORK CAN RUN (11) closed off late last run and think he’s ready to run a big race. FOLLOW MY STRIDE (1) was luckless last run and looks to get a soft run and be a novelty chance in this grade. OUR LILILOU (5) hit the line well last run but the draw is a touch awkward for her racing style. SHES A MARE (6) and YOUR GRACE (7) will both be running on. Play wide in the quaddie. Tips: 11 12 1 6 Suggested Bet: CORK CAN RUN (11) each way. Race 9 GETN WIGGY WITHIT (1) finally gets a draw to be able to lead and dictate and he does his best work in front and on speed, looks a strong player in this to return to the winners list. ALFA PRINCE (8) is improving with every run and has a lovely draw to be right there in the finish. WINEGUM (9) is ready to win, has options from the draw but could go to the rail and be very dangerous late and might be the better value of the 3 key chances. TOMMY PRICE (3) is racing well, has plenty of early speed and may have a look early. ALTA FREEWAY (10) will be better for the first up run, and he hit the line well, run was encouraging. Tips: 1 9 8 10 Suggested Bet: WINEGUM (9) each way. Market Market
