BUNBURY AW   31 Jul 2025
 
GOING: N

SIMON BAKER MAIDEN 1275m

Track: Good     Rail: True.  

Disco Kicks is the likely leader at a slick tempo. GIRLS ON FIRE (9) has performed strongly in stronger company throughout her career thus far, finishing 5.1L away on a Heavy deck in Saturday grade last start. This looks a much easier race and she'll carry no weight with Parnham on her back. Looks a suitable race and she can score her maiden win. DISCO KICKS (3) has been racing well without winning recently, including a good effort on this track last start. While the drop in distance may not be ideal, she possesses good early speed and she's sure to be strong late in the race. HAUNTED ANGEL (6) resumes today after a disappointing end to last campaign, but her recent trial suggests she's on song. She lands in a suitable race on resumption and it wouldn't surprise to see her in the finish. TASSORT WE WANT (8) is not out of this on debut. Next best is HAMADRYAD (4). SUGGESTED PLAY: Girls On Fire gets the nod.
