The good barrier draw (3) gives options in a race with very fast predicted tempo. The addition of winkers should sharpen him up, and Brad Parnham retains the ride. Looks ready to break through.

Country Comfort Perth - Racy Weekend Getaway Mdn
The Misty Bazeley-trained runner gets in with just 54kg and has Lucy Fiore aboard.
Lemmor brings solid form with a close-up third last start at Ascot in stronger company. Has experience at Bunbury with 2 placings from 6 starts at the track. The Robert & Kate Witten-trained mare should appreciate the drop in class and will be finishing strongly with Shaun O'Donnell aboard.
With a record of 0-4-1 from 12 starts, she's a consistent placegetter. The removal of nose roll and addition of ear muffs are positive gear changes that could spark improvement.

National Thoroughbred Week 20 - 24 Nov Mdn
Has been racing in stronger company including metro races at Ascot and Belmont, and drops significantly in class here. The consistent gelding has placed at this distance and handles Good tracks well. Barrier 9 is a slight concern but has the early speed to overcome it.
The Robert Gulberti-trained runner draws barrier 10 which should be manageable given the expected fast tempo that will favor backmarkers. Lucy Fiore is a positive jockey booking.
The Michael Grantham-trained runner draws barrier 8 which provides tactical options in a race with expected fast tempo. The booking of quality jockey Clint Johnston-Porter is significant.
Now second-up from a spell with natural improvement expected, and the fast tempo should suit her running style. Has experience at Bunbury and gets in with just 55kg. The wide barrier is a concern, but with Victoria Corver aboard, she can settle back and run on strongly in a race that should set up for backmarkers.

Wittens Irrigation & Design Mdn
His strong finishing ability should be perfectly suited to the predicted fast tempo, and the engagement of Clint Johnston-Porter is a significant positive. While yet to win, his form is superior to most rivals and he appears ready to break through.
The favorable barrier 3 draw should allow Holly Watson to position him ideally in the predicted fast-tempo race. His improving form trend suggests he's ready to produce a peak performance, though he'll need to find a bit more to challenge the top selection.
Patrick Carbery stays aboard, which is a positive sign, and the mare has been a consistent performer with 2 seconds and 1 third from 12 starts. While she's yet to break through for a win, her recent form suggests she'll be competitive again, though she might find one or two too good.
The improving 3yo filly has drawn favorably in barrier 2 and comes into this just 7 days after her last run, suggesting fitness won't be an issue.

Bunbury Volkswagen Mdn
The significant class drop from Listed/Group company is a massive advantage, having competed admirably at much higher levels. Drawn perfectly in barrier 2 for a forward position in a race with fast tempo, and Holly Watson maintains the ride. The step to 1400m looks ideal for a horse with his finishing strength.
God's Grin brings rock-solid form with three consecutive second placings, showing remarkable consistency. The mare has placed in 3 of her 4 career starts and gets the services of quality jockey Clint Johnston-Porter. The 39-day freshen-up is the main query, but her record suggests she can perform well with spacing between runs.
Busy Fingers brings consistent form with placings in 3 of his 4 career starts. The perfect barrier draw gives him options to either lead or take a sit just behind the speed. The main concern is being potentially trapped on the rail with a fast tempo predicted, but his consistency makes him a genuine place chance at the very least.
The wide barrier is a concern, but with the predicted fast tempo, she should be able to find cover and finish strongly.

Nixon Electrical Hcp (C1)
Progressive 4yo gelding who broke through for a dominant maiden win over 2200m last start. The William Pike engagement is significant, and he appears well-placed to handle the step up to Class 1 company despite the weight. Looks the clear standout.
Consistent 4yo gelding who broke his maiden over 2100m two starts back before a solid 7th in stronger company last time out. Has shown he can handle the trip and performs well on good tracks. Drawn to get a nice run from barrier 5 and should be right in the finish with Laqdar Ramoly aboard. Main danger to the top selection.
Lightly-raced 4yo mare who broke through for a maiden win over 2200m just 7 days ago. The quick back-up suggests she's come through that run well, and she gets in with a nice weight of 55kg.
Six-year-old gelding who recently broke through for a maiden win over 1500m and followed that with a solid 3rd over 1800m. Worth including in exotics at the very least.

Swan Draught Hcp (C3)
His last start 2nd in Class 3 company followed by a win at Ascot shows he's in peak form. Drawn perfectly in barrier 3 with tactical versatility, he should get an ideal run in transit. The step up to 1675m looks ideal based on his strong finishing efforts.
Point Rocks comes off a strong win over this track and distance carrying 58.5kg, suggesting he handles the course well. While the 60kg is a challenge, he's proven capable under weight and should be prominent in the early stages from barrier 7, giving him tactical options in a race with moderate-fast tempo.
Henry Has Spoken brings strong course-specific credentials with a 5:1-0-3 record at this track and distance. His last start 3rd here was encouraging, and he gets in with just 55kg. The barrier draw gives him options to settle midfield, and his proven ability to run on strongly at this track makes him a genuine place chance.
His last start win at 1600m shows he's in form, and the slight step up to 1675m should suit. While he's yet to race at Bunbury, his adaptability to different tracks is a plus. The barrier draw is the main concern, but with a patient ride, he can finish strongly.

TABtouch - Have You Got The Touch Hcp (C5)
His recent form is solid with a 3rd last start at Belmont over this distance. The very fast tempo should suit his running style, and he's drawn well in barrier 6.
His excellent place record (27: 3-9-3) and strong distance statistics (18: 3-5-2) suggest he'll be competitive. While carrying top weight and facing a new track, his class and the services of Brad Parnham give him strong claims.
While his recent form has been disappointing, the drop back to 1000m from barrier 2 with a quality jockey could see him bounce back. His versatile running style should allow him to take advantage of the predicted very fast tempo.
