Pinjarra today
 

Like a few former eastern staters lining up at Pinjarra today. Index Case (R5) goes well first-up, suited the 1000, has a good draw and jockey. Escape (R6) has wins at Moonee Valley, Flemington and Rosehill to his credit. Not beaten that far at WA (Ascot) debut, has won 2nd-up has a good draw and jockey. Colonel Mustard (R8) stablemate of Escape. On paper a shade disappointing at WA (Ascot) debut but drops in class today.

Also a watch on King Kade (R7) who drops in grade following two runs in WA (Pinjarra) after a spell. Suited the step up in distance and has blinkers added today.

Listed TOMMY SMITH SLIPPER
 

Not enough disclosed form for my liking so will likely just watch. Mel, Barlagarney and Tantra look the obvious best chances, the latter is trained by Gai Waterhouse who has previously won this race with Sunday Joy and How Funny.

Looking for value perhaps Special Offer who put in a great effort at his debut back in November running 2nd over 1000m at Eagle Farm then put in a shocker (when fancied) same track over 1200m following a 2months layoff. Run too bad to be true that day and could improve dramatically today.

It's Happy New Year Day from Ascot by the river. Today will be a very Happy New Year Day for the connections of the horse who wins the 119th running of the Perth Cup. This exciting and gruelling marathorn will be played out in front of a crowd anticipated to reach over 40,000. The Perth Cup is the race all local horse owners, trainers, jockeys and punters want to win. As well as that we have eight other very exciting races in this nine race action packed meeting. The state’s premier staying race was first run in 1887 when won by First Prince.

There is also a massive quartet jackpot on this Perth Cup race. The quartet pool is expected to reach $100,000, so have a punt.
