Lucky I Am presents as the top selection with consistent form, including two recent wins. The filly has a strong record on soft tracks and carries a favorable weight. Drawing barrier 6 is advantageous at Bunbury over 1200m. While stepping up in class, her recent performances suggest she's ready for the challenge.
Catch Carter drops significantly in class and brings consistent form into this race. The gelding has drawn well in barrier 2 and retains the services of experienced jockey Laqdar Ramoly. While carrying top weight, the class drop should offset this. His soft track record is average, but overall form makes him a strong contender.
Surf Patrol comes off a good second place finish and drops in class for this race. The gelding is proven over the distance and has the advantage of top jockey Brad Parnham in the saddle. The wide barrier is a concern, as is the lack of soft track form. However, his overall profile suggests he can be competitive in this field.
She gets weight relief in this race and has a solid record at the distance.

Despite lack of form data, Savage Dancer presents as a strong contender based on connections alone. The Williams stable excels with first starters, and Pike's booking is significant. Barrier 2 should allow for a positive position in running, which is advantageous on soft going at Bunbury.
Rebelnado has shown consistent form without winning, placing in 2 of 3 starts. The soft track should suit based on breeding, and Brad Parnham is a strong booking. Likely to get a good run midfield and finish strongly if the predicted fast tempo eventuates.
Extreme Ruler has strong track form and is likely to lead or be prominent early. The soft track is a query, but being on-pace is an advantage at Bunbury. First-up from a spell but has placed when fresh previously.
Glanced showed improvement last start with a placing and drops 1kg here. Barrier 4 should allow for a good position midfield, and as a Pierro filly, the soft track could be to her advantage. First-up from a spell but has shown ability fresh.

Written Words looks well-placed to make a winning debut. The strong jockey booking and advantageous barrier draw suggest connections expect a good showing. Likely to get an ideal run just off the pace, which should suit the expected fast tempo. The main query is lack of race experience and soft track form.
Blue Mozart has strong claims on debut with William Pike aboard. The Pearce stable is in good form and the midfield draw should allow tactical flexibility. The main negatives are the lack of race experience and uncertain soft track ability.
Ninetymilestraight has a good chance on debut from an ideal barrier. Steven Parnham is a strong jockey booking and the horse should get a good run in midfield. The main concerns are the lack of race experience and unknown soft track ability.
Artie's Eclipse offers value based on a strong debut run and favorable weight and barrier draw. The filly has proven soft track ability and should be suited by the conditions. The main concerns are the inexperienced apprentice jockey and limited race experience.

The significant class drop is a major positive, and despite the long break, the horse's form suggests it should handle the soft track well. The slightly wide barrier is the main concern, but overall form and class edge make it a confident top pick.
While facing a class rise and drawn slightly wide, the horse's overall form and weight advantage make it a solid second pick. The main concern is adapting to the soft track condition.
While the win rate is low, the strong place rate suggests reliability. The main concerns are the barrier draw and adapting to the soft track. Overall, a solid each-way prospect as the third selection.
The advantageous barrier draw is a plus, but the low win/place rate and class rise are concerns.

This'll Show Ya has a strong win rate and performs well fresh. Her track/distance record is solid, and she's a proven soft track performer.

Valdarena brings solid form into this race with consistent performances and a strong affinity for soft tracks. The mare's recent 3rd place finish demonstrates good current form.

While the wide barrier is a concern, Anaballistic's early speed should help overcome this. The main question mark is her ability on soft tracks.

Amazing Cheat drops in class after consistent performances in higher grade. The addition of blinkers and tongue tie could spark improvement.

While carrying top weight and drawn wide, the gelding has proven ability at the track and distance. The soft track is a query, but his recent form and experienced jockey make him a strong contender.
