GJD Security Maiden Tips (Race 1)

Pinjarra Next Best Bet - Race 1 No. 4 Where's Timmy

Spelled after a sole Lark Hill trial in September last year, Where's Timmy was much more prominent when taking out a March 9 heat during autumn, successful in that 950m hit-out despite doing plenty wrong.

The son of War Chant, who is from the same family as Listed winner Flying Affair, was then given more time ahead of his debut at Bunbury on July 30, where he was respected on the third line of betting for that 1000m maiden.

While never threatening Modern Girl, a heavily supported favourite who arrived off a good and luckless return in mid-July, Where's Timmy was ridden cold from a wide draw and hard to miss late, doing his best work through the line while recording the fastest closing sectionals of the entire meeting.

He should benefit from that initial race-day experience, while getting to 1200m at start two looks another positive.

With more options from a middle draw under Steven Parnham, Where's Timmy can take the necessary progression and score the breakthrough on Wednesday in a maiden that appears there for the taking.

Pinjarra Favourite - Race 4 No. 5 Streak Of God

The July 29 resumption was not dissimilar to his February 12 return, with both of those first-up attempts coming over seven furlongs.

Streak Of God hit a flat spot before warming up again late most recently, recording the fastest final 200m of that July 29 Class 3 at Belmont, while he progressed second-up last campaign when benefiting from the fresh run to salute over further.

Although he is likely to prosper over more ground, the extra 100m still suits here, while blinkers replace winkers and leading jockey William Pike stays aboard the Williams-trained galloper.

It has been one of the more formidable jockey-trainer combinations in the country for a long time and the last 12 months has been no exception, with Pike riding 55 winners for the Williams stable at just under 30%, while in that same period, the yard is striking at 30% on the Pinjarra Scarpside circuit with an ROI of 42%.

Still lightly raced and with upside, Streak Of God should improve from a solid trial, along with the fresh run and is well placed to bring up win two.

Bryson Canvas Handicap Tips (Race 6)

Pinjarra Best Bet - Race 6 No. 7 Elegant Ruler

This Donna Riordan-trained mare is in good touch during her third campaign, with the daughter of Universal Ruler breaking through at Northam first-up on June 1 before following that with back-to-back seconds.

The latest of those placings came at Belmont on July 1, where she recorded the second-fastest final 200m of the program, with a wide alley proving costly in that third-up appearance.

Her July 25 ninth-of-11 reads much worse than the performance itself, with Elegant Ruler dropped out the back from a wide draw and completely unsuited before warming up late to record the fastest final 200m of that end-of-season three-year-old handicap at Saturday metropolitan level.

She carries 55kg again despite finding a much easier assignment back in midweek company in a No Metro Win Last Year affair, while her record suggests she is effective on all surfaces and should handle whatever this surface throws up.

Barrier two gives Joey Azzopardi more options early aboard the four-year-old, who can settle closer from the inside alley and she gets her chance to capitalise on the drop in grade.

Racing@Pinjarra Thursday August 20 Tips (Race 8)

Pinjarra Value Bet - Race 8 No. 8 Hyperreal

It will be interesting to see what the market does late with The Nun, with the equal favourite a fair enough quote north of $3.50 given the daughter of Churchill brings some excellent three-year-old form lines from last season, although a quiet August 3 trial was difficult to gauge.

She is the starting point on class and will probably prove the best horse to come from this race, while Hyperreal is at a knockout quote for Wednesday's finale.

Although it took him a long time to break through, he followed his November maiden victory with a Class 2 win straight after, while his subsequent efforts have all been competitive.

That includes his latest fourth-of-11 at Bunbury on July 30 behind Cinque Stelle, who bolted in at Belmont last Saturday, and under the circumstances Hyperreal went every bit as well as Swansee and Surround Me, who come through the same race and are much shorter in the market.

His return third was also good, while dropping back to 1200m suits and, with some speed expected up front, Hyperreal can come into each-way calculations late.
