Full Preview for Bunbury Tuesday
Race 1:
Tricky start to the night with 1,2,3,4 likely to show gate speed. DOC RYAN (8) will need luck from inside back row draw but it was a pleasing return behind the low flying Hoiho at Narrogin. TIMS PORTAIT (3) is lightly raced and promising. Worked home well from a long way back last start. NELLIE BABE (2) was outsped in slick mile rate last start but can improve in easier race tonight. BRAVE STRANGER (7) is terribly one paced but early speed on will assist and can be in the finish if close enough on the corner
Race 2:
Not alot of these in theur best form makes it tough. TRUST MY JUDGEMENT (1) may have the gate speed to lead and this is easier than last start. GOTTA GO CHOCOLATE (8) ran well last start and a threat if the 1 holds up early. AINT MISBEHAVIN (11) has ability when on song and Lewis might be able to get his best out of him tonight - a return to form of placing from breeze at Northam in Nov would see him as the one to roll. DOUBLE E (5) finds this easier than last run behind flying Sarah Goody so with luck early can be thereabouts.
Race 3:
BETHANY AITCH (1) is clearly the one to beat after dominating from the breeze at Albany but importantly having the gate speed to lead these throughout tonight. QUESTIONABLE GESTURE (5) stayed on well from the breeze last time but is likely to be stuck there again tonight. HOT FRATERNITY (8) should get a peach of a run behind the leader and be in the minor prizemoney. MOSSDALE FLYNN (9) should drop 3 pegs early and that gives him top 4 prospects.
Race 4:
ALKIRAS DESIRE (12) is a jet and clearly has these on ability but just needs to show she can do it over the 2100m trip. Grantham may take HILLMORE DISCO (2) to the lead early and that gives her at least bright place claims. KISSMECOUGAR (10) can sprint home well with the right run in transit, as can SEA ME SMILE (8) albeit the draw is tricky.
Race 5:
Great clash between thr three drawn wide on the front line. WIMBALIRI (5) was not disgraced when beaten at first local run after leading. Should be cherry ripe to lead them all the way tonight and turn tables on TOUCH OF SUCCESS (6) who had a peach of a run and was too strong when they last met. Could end up with good cover again tonight as OUR GAMMA LADY (7) will likely push forward to get in the action. Shes going well but its going to be tough to do the work against the other two classy types who should get better runs in transit. SCOOBYS DELIGHT (1) has first 4 claims from the kind draw.
Race 6:
SKY ART (2) is a talented sit sprinter and if he can be first to the markers tonight hes going to be in the right spot to strike late. GAZWANNABET (10) is the class factor and was tough from the breeze at GP on Friday night. CUT FOR AN ACE (5) is ODS and 0 from 11 in stands but going well enough to win with a clean getaway. RUSTY ROCKETS (11) will be running home late for minor prizemoney.
Race 7:
HIT IT RICH (3) was terrific on debut in NZ in 1.54 mile and has been trialling exceptionally well for the Bonds. Expect her to lead and win tonight and go on to bigger and better things. FIREBRACE (5) was terrific on debut but will need to go even better to win from the breeze tonight. KRISTIAN ROBERT (2) and LIFESAGRIN (1) sshould get cover close to speed and fill first 4 positions.
Race 8:
Not strong. If FRONT ROW (3) found the front then would be hard to beat off solid debut. DONTCH REMEMBER (2) may be first to markers and should get nice run from there. A watch on BE ON GUARD (7) who broke on debut. ULYIMATE AFFAIR (8) trialled ok in decent time at Byford but has potentially tricky draw
