Pinjarra Scarpside Race 3 - Country Comfort Perth Plate
The boomed-up SEPTEMBER BORN (2) had plenty of fans last campaign when winning the Fairetha, but pulled up with an issue when beaten in the Guineas. He's trialled well coming into this and he's still got plenty of upside. Well placed and can return on a winning note. WIND AND THE LION (1) will be better for the first-up run where he just found them too quick over 1000m. His best work was late in that race and the rise in trip is a big tick. He won the Placid Ark off a similar set up in the Summer and he appears the main danger. DAYTONA PETE (3) was only fair last start but gets the blinkers on now third-up into the campaign. Still has upside and can challenge the top two. POND MASTER (4) went close last week despite the barrier not opening at the same time as his rivals. Back to this trip but won't be far away. EARTHSTORM (6) will be better for the fresh run and can be right in the finish.

Second-up. First-up after five months held ground to the line 2nd of 7 at Ascot Rtg 72+ on May 10 over 1000m, 1.5 len behind Celestial Storm carrying 57.5kg at $5.50. Previously second-up came from midfield and won by 0.6 len at Ascot LR Placid Ark November 16 over 1200m defeating London's Image with 57kg at $3.50. Can improve with the run under his belt and out in trip looks a big tick.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming 4th of 8 at Ascot 3yo Hcp 62+ on April 19 over 1000m, 1.3 len behind Black Ora with 57kg at $3.50. Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 8 at Ascot 3yo Hcp 59+ on May 10 over 1200m, 3 len behind Pond Master carrying 59.5kg at $4.40. Should be ready to show his best. Blinkers go on now and he looks as though he can make the grade.

Useful type. Last start 2nd of 9 at Belmont Park 3yo Hcp 61+ on May 24 over 1400m, 0.7 len behind Elite Missile carrying 59.5kg at $1.80. The race before that favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 1.3 len at Ascot 3yo Hcp 59+ May 10 over 1200m defeating Maalis Song with 58.5kg at $3.20. Wasn't too far off the mark last time. Unlucky not to win last week with the barrier issue and can feature again.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up eased back early on 3rd in a small field at Ascot 3yo Hcp 55+ on May 3 over 1000m, on a slow track; 2 len behind Kay Tee Why carrying 59kg at $7.50. Second run from a spell sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 9 at Belmont Park Grad Hcp 60+ on May 17 over 1200m, 2 len behind Sky Duke carrying 56kg at $3.30. Might just find this a bit too tough.

Previously second-up 3rd of 16 at Belmont Park Mdn on October 23 over 1200m, 2 len behind Nickelplay with 54kg at $2. Fitter and further are big ticks and she can play a major role.
