BUNBURY FORD HANDICAP 1275m Track: GOOD Rail: True. |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Pace genuine with Teabiscuit and Looks pressing hard closely followed by Santanova and Money Trees. SANTANOVA (4) deserved the CL3 win at Northam and then was expected to win here this grade on the turf, but didn't have much luck on the heavy surface. Chris Parnham stays aboard, and on a firm deck, she can bounce back. MONEY TREES (5) improved again beaten a whisker at Pinjarra. Fiore stays aboard and will push forward. Peaks and rates to go close. TEABISCUIT (6) bounced straight back, comfortably winning a 58 at Kalgoorlie. He carries just 52kg with the claim and will use an inside gate. Deserves consideration. DREAMTIME JEAN (3) has switched barns on an 18-day return. His best would be good enough but he has to find it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Santanova.
