BUNBURY AW   31 Jul 2025
 
GOING: N

RON PATCHETT HANDICAP 1500m

Track: Good     Rail: True.  

Bling Beach, Uno Me and Random Rewards can settle forward in a race lacking a designated leader. ONE PUNCH (1) bolted in over this course and distance last start, running away to win by 3.8L in fine style. He jumped favourite there and turned in a strong figure in doing so. Can roll forward and repeat the dose. YALLINGUP GIRL (9) drops in trip following a 1.1L defeat on the Turf course here 25 days ago. That was in this grade and she remains right down in the weights. Maps to get her chance and it wouldn't surprise to see her end her winning drought. ISHKUR (3) has returned in good order this campaign and draws the inside on the 8-day turnaround. She's putting up competitive numbers recently and as she hits peak fitness now, she can put her best foot forward. RANDOM REWARDS (6) was very good two back before disappointing last start in Soft going. The All Weather surface should help and she won't be far away. WAYNE THE PAIN (4) is in the mix if he can bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: One Punch goes on top in the last.
