4Rally The Troops
Midfield map perfect for fast tempo and track's backmarker bias (33% win rate). Chris Parnham from barrier 2 overrides weight concerns in class drop. Stronger recent fitness and speed than Hey Pino (leader risks in bias) and first-up Kimberley Rose.

2Fire The Lot
Good 4 record (5:1-2-1) suits conditions; Parnham aboard boosts chances despite class rise and no 1675m form.
2nd pickWon
4Shazair
Shazair standout with Bunbury 1675m win (Maiden) and recent 2nd in Class 3 1600m. Good 4 record solid (7:2-1-1); midfield settling suits tempo and track bias. Strong each-way value ahead of less proven risers.
3rd pick5th

Good 4 stats decent but lacks Bunbury exposure and faces class jump from wide draw as backmarker. Place hope with Parnham.

Winner4. Bonny RockSP $3.20
★ Top pickWon
4Bonny Rock
Middle barrier (8) aligns with track bias favouring 7-12 (22% win), midfield settling suits very fast tempo and backmarkers/closers advantage (33% win). Dropping in class from BM66+, peak fitness in regular prep outweighs recent metro flop. Superior to field on pure form.
2nd pick4th
1Chino La Diva
Chino La Diva's Bunbury affinity (1 win from 5, 1 from 2 at 1200m) and inside barrier 2 give tactical edge in 1200m chute where leaders favoured. Very fast tempo may pressure leaders but sweeping turns fair; edges first-uppers on fitness and venue form.
3rd pick7th
2Antz Pantz Baby
Antz Pantz Baby brings strong Bunbury form (1 win, 1 second latest starts) and major class drop. Midfield map (barrier 6) perfect for very fast tempo and backmarkers advantage. First-up record blank (3:0-0-0) tempers but local trainer, recent winning momentum pre-399 day spell suggests readiness. Solid place chance over weaker metro dropouts.
Value pickScratched
3Just Gifted
Barrier 1 handy, first-up blank (2:0-0-0) concern but midfield suits bias/tempo.

Lemmor excels locally with 8:1-1-2 at Bunbury including recent Class 3 win over T/D. Form peaking (last 5: 2-4-3-2-1), Witten stable targeting provincials. Midfield map suits on-pace bias and very fast tempo. Better than outsiders like first-uppers despite class drop. Solid place claims.

5Justabittapress
Justabittapress brings sharp first-up stats (3:1-0-0) with Parnham booking boost. Long spell but Lane first-uppers perform. Midfield map ok in fast tempo but wide barrier and gear change risks vs proven locals like 4 and 9.
