Bunbury tips and results

Our price $6.50 · SP $13.00 · Laqdar Ramoly

As a two-year-old she led and was only just beaten, and she has run to a winning standard over 1000m before. Leaders win well above their share at Bunbury, and her recent trial win says she's ready. Barrier 10 and a contested lead are the worries, so back her for a place.

Our price $7.00 · SP $7.50 · Holly Nottle

Aura Magna is a very reliable maiden: second in each of her last two starts after racing handy, including over 1200m at Bunbury. From barrier 4 she should sit just behind the leaders, which is where winners come from here. She is solid for a place.

Our price $6.50 · SP $9.00 · Steven Parnham

Mr Kaplan's debut second at Ascot over this distance would win most Bunbury maidens. She was then outclassed in stakes company. The stable is in form, the jockey is among the best at this track, and she races handy, which suits the track's lean to on-pace runners.

Our price $5.50 · SP $2.70 · Lucy Fiore

My Malena is the most reliable wet-tracker in the race. She ran second at Bunbury on Soft 5, which was her best run, and she also held her own on Heavy. Barrier 2 should give her a run just off the speed, and Lucy Fiore rides this track well. Her last two runs have been a bit flatter, but they came on firmer ground or at a longer trip. The softer track today should suit her, and she looks the likeliest place chance.

Our price $5.50 · SP $4.80 · Shaun McGruddy

Bold Flying makes his debut after two good trials. We have no race data on him, which is not counted against him, and his trial times alone suggest he can run a big race.

Our price $5.00 · SP $5.00 · Cassey Martinan

A reliable maiden who has placed in 3 of 4 starts and handles soft ground well. Second up with early speed, he should be much closer this time. His connections are out of form, which is the worry, but his profile suits a soft track well.

Our price $6.00 · SP $5.50 · Jefferson Tsang

Hamadryad led and only just went down over this course and distance last start. From barrier 4 she maps perfectly to sit with Playa Del Sol at the front.

Our price $11.00 · SP $12.00 · Joey Azzopardi

Last Shout is overpriced after an eye-catching return at Bunbury. He placed in his only soft-track start and has placed second up before.

Our price $2.70 · SP $3.50 · William Pike

She is the most likely winner on form. Her recent runs are the best in the race, and that includes a good soft-track second. Her early speed should overcome barrier 14, and a slow tempo should help her get the 2025m. She is untried at the distance, but the rest of the field is modest and has repeatedly failed to win maiden races. Pike and Grantham are in strong form and win often together at Bunbury, which gives extra confidence.

Our price $7.00 · SP $13.00 · Brad Parnham

He was beaten a nose over this course and distance and should find the lead from barrier 4 in a slowly-run race. That gives him the easiest trip in the field. His record on soft ground and Bunbury's recent poor record for leaders are real concerns.

Our price $5.00 · SP $8.00 · Natasha Faithfull

Nailed'em has the best map in the race. His Class 2 runs are good enough to win this, and he drops in class. Top weight, a long break and one unplaced soft-track run count against him, but he places reliably.

Our price $9.00 · SP $14.00 · Ava Catarino

Artie's Eclipse won over this course and distance on Soft 5 last month, and that run was one of the best by any horse in this race. She was well beaten last start, but that was over 1200m and she's back to her best trip today.

Our price $5.00 · SP $6.50 · William Pike

The concern is the map: from barrier 14 she is likely to settle near the tail, and runners from back there win less often at Bunbury.

Our price $7.50 · SP $11.00 · Victoria Corver

She has the ideal map, sitting on the speed from barrier 4 with the lightest weight in the race. Last start she led all the way at Northam and was only just beaten. The extra 100m and her first run on soft ground are question marks.

Our price $6.50 · SP $21.00 · Chris Parnham

He also coped with a heavy track when placing earlier.

Our price $8.00 · SP $16.00 · Victoria Corver

A reliable Class 1 mare who ran second over this track and distance last start and has placed on rain-affected ground. She should get a handy midfield run from barrier 9.

Our price $11.00 · SP $14.00 · Sharni Webster

He likes Bunbury, has placed on soft tracks, and was only just beaten behind Solo Vega in a similar race last start. He also carries less weight than several of his rivals.

Our price $3.60 · SP $5.00 · William Pike

Her last-start fourth at this grade was a winning-standard effort. Her wet-track record is proven, and she draws to sit midfield with cover while two leaders take each other on. Her stable is in red-hot form and William Pike is riding at a 50% strike rate, so this looks the right time to catch her.

Our price $5.00 · SP $6.50 · Jefferson Tsang

His form is as strong as anything in the race. He ran third at Bunbury over the same trip last start after sitting 13th early, and his times say that run was good enough to win most races of this class. He has won 2 of 5 on soft, and a genuine pace should help him get home. The wide draw and back-of-field style are the risks at a track that favours on-pace runners, so he fits best in the placings.

Our price $8.00 · SP $16.00 · Brad Parnham

Few in this field handle a wet track better. He has run second or better in 4 of his 6 soft starts and won on soft at Belmont last month. His fifth over 1000m at this class last start was a winning-standard run, and his natural speed should put him handy behind the leaders.
