RACING WA NOW ON 7PLUS HANDICAP 1400m
Small field that lacks a pacemaker so a modest tempo is likely. STORMAGEDDON (1) just missed last start at Belmont in tougher company and looks well placed in this event. ZJP hops in the saddle and claims 3kg, having him nicely weighted in the small field. The step out to 1400m is a big tick and he can go one better this time around. SNIPPY SEAN (4) scored an impressive win last start to shed the maiden tag in a strong race at Belmont. He draws a better gate this time around which should see him sit closer in the run. Chris Parnham remains in the saddle and he can repeat the dose without surprising. IRONCLAD BOY (2) resumed with a good win in Maiden grade first-up and he looks to have turned the corner this time in work. Will be back in the run, but he'll go close if he can improve on what he did first-up. KINGS SICARIO (3) has disappointed of late, though he is better than that. Expecting him to bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stormageddon can go one better this time. |

CAREERS @ WA RACING HANDICAP 1400m
London's Image to find the front in the small field. ASTRO WORLD (6) looks a filly on the way up after an impressive maiden victory over this course and distance. She sat just off the speed and booted home to win by 1.9L, with this race shaping up similarly. She looks destined for better races than this and can bring up back-to-back wins. AYUMI (1) led them up last start but found a couple better at Belmont over this trip, beaten 1.2L. Irish apprentice Amy Jo Hayes hops in the saddle, boasting an 8% strike rate from her last 50 rides. Claims 3kg from an inside draw and she'll be tough to run down. SAMARAS JOY (3) has been running on well her past couple, being just 1.6L off the winner at Northam when a long way off on the turn. Form out of that race has been good and she shouldn't be that far away today. Likely to be in the finish. LONDON'S IMAGE (2) did plenty wrong first-up and she gets the blinkers on again today. Expecting improvement. SUGGESTED PLAY: Astro World can win again. |

MELBOURNE CUP DAY @ BUNBURY ON SALE MAIDEN 1000m
Tricky one to map with a large contingent of first starters but over this trip there is certain to be plenty of early pressure. JUST GIFTED (7) trialled very impressively coming into this event with Pike in the saddle there, who sticks for today's debut. She sat off the speed and got over the top late in the trial, so expect similar tactics today. Looks to have plenty of ability and can make an immediate impact. RON'S FINALFLUTTER (3) showed good ability on debut as a 2YO and was tipped out after the debut effort. She looks to have returned in good order judging by her recent outing and Brad Parnham has stuck with her the whole way through. Can make a statement on resumption. LOVIN' ON ME (8) scored impressively at her most recent trial when scooting away from her rivals in a 1000m heat at Belmont. She maps to get every chance from the draw and if she can bring what she showed at the trials, she'll make her presence felt. TWELVEUNDER (9) and AMARLIME (6) are both debutants who have shown enough at the trials. Both are worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Just Gifted can begin her career on a winning note. |

CUPRUM DISTILLERY MAIDEN 1685m
Moderate tempo headed by Sky God, Maid An Offer and Ain'tnocureforlove. FLASH OF DALLAS (9) was sound first-up from a long way back, beaten 5.5L over 1400m here, though the rise in trip should suit. She was effective in the Oaks and CJP sticking is a positive sign. Still lightly raced with plenty of upside and she can shed the maiden tag. SKY GOD (11) ran home strongly to be 0.6L off the winner over 1400m at Belmont in a stronger race than this. He was 80-1 there, though this is much easier and he looks suited up to this trip. Drawn nicely and can put his best foot forward. STARWALKER (5) was only 1L off the winner after closing strongly as a 20-1 pop at Northam last start. He's learning every time he goes to the races and the form out of his last campaign has been franked already. Can be in the finish. NEAP TIDE (12) got a long way back on debut and should be suited by the rise in distance. Can improve. ROCK IN WONDER (7) gets the blinkers on first time and out in trip. Ticks a few boxes. SUGGESTED PLAY: Flash Of Dallas gets the nod. |

BUNBURY BATTERIES & RADIATORS MAIDEN 1200m
Anticipating a stack of early pressure over the sprint course with many of these facing the starter for the first time. Happy to side with the debutants in a race where the exposed form isn't overly strong. MYSTERY MINUTE (12) hails from a strong family and was very impressive in his recent trial at Lark Hill. The Blinkers are on today and Pike rides despite not being on board for the trials. Maps to get his chance and can make a winning start to his career. HOBELAR (10) hit the line nicely in his most recent trial over 1000m at Belmont. He draws a nice barrier and he too is from a winning family. Expected to be right in the finish. SUPER SNIPPY (1) brings the best exposed form into this, charging home to just miss over this track and trip 17 days ago. Can sit a bit closer today from a better draw and he's in career best form of late. Sure to go close once again. FANTAXTIC (9) has shown good ability at the trials and can feature if he brings that form to the races. KNIGHT ADMIRE (4) is better than he showed last start and can bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mystery Minute makes plenty of appeal. |

SWAN DRAUGHT MAIDEN 1400m
Good early pace headed by Frappuccino, Smart Shadow and Flinders Lane, with Le Troy and Amazing Cheat in their slipstream. FRAPPUCCINO (1) has been scratched from a couple of other races to line up here. He was good last start at Belmont when a beaten favourite and should be hitting his top now. Getting back onto a good surface may hold the key and Chris Parnham rides now. Ticks plenty of boxes. SMART SHADOW (13) went down narrowly last start after leading the field as a 50-1 pop, ending up just 1.9L behind an impressive winner. That form may have been franked by now and he maps well again and will take catching with the light weight on her back. MYTHICAL DREAM (7) disappointed on debut back in January, though the form out of that race worked out well. He's since switched barns to the Michael Grantham stable and his recent trial was super. Pike rides on resumption and he can make his presence felt. FLINDERS LANE (9) disappointed last start but is better than what she showed there. Can bounce back. AMAZING CHEAT (11) can build on the fresh effort and has strong claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Frappuccino. |

YOUVE GOT THE TABTOUCH HANDICAP 1200m
Pace will be genuine with Deep Speed and Lady Cabernet locking horns in advance of Olivia'smemumma and Our Nemesis. OUR MATE ARCHIE (3) made up for his unlucky debut performance by winning at Northam 14 days ago, scoring by 0.5L. He looks a nice horse won the way through and his form has already been franked. Pike sticks, the extra 100m looks perfect and he can continue his winning ways. GOLD KEEPER (6) got too far back last start and never featured at Belmont, beaten a long way. He draws much better this time for Azzopardi and he'll find this a touch easier than his recent efforts. Can bounce back in a big way. OUR NEMESIS (2) ran over the top to win impressively at the end of last campaign, scoring by 1.1L in this grade at Belmont. He resumes without a trial, though the booking of Parnham suggests he's going well. Drawn nicely and can return in good order. DEEP SPEED (1) resumed in good order and has winning claims if she can hold that form. OLIVIA'SMEMUMMA (5) won't be far away if she can pick up where she left off. SUGGESTED PLAY: Our Mate Archie can go back-to-back. |

WITTENS IRRIGATION & DESIGN HANDICAP 1685m
Genuine tempo with the speedy Run D'affaire Run leading the way. LINDEN'S GOLD (2) comes into this third-up and ready to peak, running on strongly to finish 1.5L off the winner here most recently. He looks ready for this trip now and he maps to get his chance for Chris Parnham. The one to beat with improvement anticipated. CENTRAL FORCE (3) ended up just 2.5L off the winner from well back in the field first-up and will find this much easier back to Provincial grade. Pike hops in the saddle and out to this distance second-up looks ideal. Drawn nicely and can put his best foot forward. BEANIE (7) is ticking along nicely without winning, finishing 1.9L away most recently at Northam. He hasn't won for a long time, though his recent figures say he can be in the finish in a race like this. CANNY JACK (8) has been racing in Saturday company his past couple and will appreciate this easier race. CJP rides and improvement is likely. ABBOU (6) won't be far away if he can run up to his most recent effort. SUGGESTED PLAY: Linden's Gold goes on top. |
