BUNBURY AW   03 Jul 2025
 
GOING: N

BUNBURY FORD HANDICAP 950m

Track: Good     Rail: True.  

This'll Show Ya should spear straight to the front of the small field. ON THE FULL (2) was narrowly beaten twice at Ascot and then went back and disappointed (jockey concerned with his action - vet cleared). He's been freshened and finds easier grade. Races forward and can bounce back. THIS'LL SHOW YA (3) was strong through the line winning at Ascot and resumed with a solid effort here on the grass in tougher company. The speedy filly will present fitter and the 3kg claim brings her right into it. CRYSTALIST (7) resumes and goes okay fresh. He'd be around the mark presented on song. VILLAGE GIRL (5) maps well and would be a chance at best. Faithful replaces the 4kg apprentice. SUGGESTED PLAY: With On The Full.
