Pinjarra hosts a bumper 10-race card today highlighted by the $120,000 Listed Pinjarra Classic (1300m), which features rising stars Tellem We’re Comin and Cup Night.

BEST BET: ORISTANO (R3, No.1)

Resumes after an encouraging debut when fourth to Amarillo Rose at Belmont last August. Trialled exceptionally well when bolting in at Lark Hill recently. Drawn well for champion jockey Paul Harvey.

NEXT BEST: CUP NIGHT (R8, No.1)

Faces a strong field in the Pinjarra Classic but looks to have returned in outstanding order, having thrashed his rivals in the Scenic Blast Stakes first-up. Races at his best second-up and the step-up to 1300m is perfect.

BEST VALUE: CASINO WAR (R6, No.6)

Proved her toughness with a fighting maiden win at this track over Goku and Neat Action, both subsequent winners. Then at her first run in more than two months, she again fought on strongly to be beaten narrowly into third at Ascot. Drawn well and will be in the race for a long way.
