GOING: S(6)

AUTOBAHN BUNBURY MAIDEN 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: +6m with a cutaway.  

Genuine tempo with Extreme Ruler and Tapitlikeit'ssassy pressing for the lead. SAVAGE DANCER (12) is on debut today after a very nice trial at Lark Hill last month. Pike was in the saddle that day and remains with the filly here, who is a full sibling to Wango Award - a multiple winner in WA. Can sit close to the speed as she showed in her trial and make a winning start to her career. EXTREME RULER (1) was trending the right way last campaign before a disappointing end at this track and trip when pulling up with an issue. His recent trial suggested he's back in form however and he's open to plenty of improvement. Expecting him to return on a positive note. RETURN OF THE MACH (5) showed promising signs in her debut campaign and jumped an odds-on pop at this track to end last campaign. She was sound in her latest trial and while the wide draw may see her back in the run, she should be flying late. REBELNADO (2) has looked good at the trials coming in and can feature with Brad Parnham riding. HATALOOK (10) looks next best on debut following a solid trial. SUGGESTED PLAY: Savage Dancer can score a debut victory.
