Bunbury racing tips

—

Race 1. (15:27) On the Ball Statewide Bearings Sprint (1200m)

#9 – Divine Magic

BET NOW

Divine Magic could make a winning debut after some solid trial efforts, including a third placing at Belmont.

The Neville Parnham-trained filly is bred to be better than average, and that should be reflected in betting markets.

We’re putting her on top in the opener.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (16:02) Bunbury Brighter Handicap (1200m)

#4 – Seven Candles

BET NOW

Seven Candles started this preparation with back-to-back wins before finishing second last time out.

The four-year-old son of Playing God was only a half-length behind the talented Auto Cruise, so the form stacks up brilliantly.

Look for him to make a winning return after a quick spell.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 3. (16:43) Redink Run 1MW (1675m)

#1 – Decoration

BET NOW

Looking to build on two solid efforts this preparation is Decoration, who ran well to finish second fresh up.

The five-year-old son of Epaulette owns five wins and 11 placings from 29 starts, so his experience is enough to take him close.

Getting 3kg off his back is enough to take him close.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 4. (17:23) City & Regional Fuels BM66 (2000m)

#2 – Lillian

BET NOW

Gunning for four consecutive wins is Lillian, who was too good for a tidy field at Ascot last time out.

The four-year-old mare by War Decree owns four wins from 10 starts, and although she’s yet to win at Bunbury, she is running better than ever.

2kg comes off her back to help with the weight.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 5. (18:03) William Barrett & Sons 1MW (1200m)

#6 – Just Walter John

BET NOW

Just Walter John doesn’t know how to run a bad race after posting two wins and five placings from seven starts.

The three-year-old son of Snippetson is unbeaten in two runs over the distance, so everything points towards another good showing.

Look for a betting push on race day.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 6. (18:42) Bunbury Volkswagen Handicap (1200m)

#2 – Watto’s Mark

BET NOW

Watto’s Mark is already a two-time winner from four starts, including a last start win at Ascot.

The three-year-old son of Supido won by a length as a $2.10 chance, and this race isn’t much harder than what he faced.

He’s a good chance to win, so include him in multi bets.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 7. (19:20) Tabtouch Bunbury Stakes (1400m)

#13 – Talkanco @ $2.50

BET NOW

Looking to cap off three consecutive second placings is Talkanco, who owns four wins and six placings from 11 starts.

The three-year-old filly is a nice type in the making, and she wasn’t far away when running second behind London’s Image at Pinjarra.

54kg on her back is a steal, so she should be tough to beat.

Stake: 3 Units

Race 8. (19:53) Swan Draught Bunbury Cup (2000m)

#4 – Fancy Red @ $4.60

BET NOW

We expect a nice run from Fancy Red, who made it seven wins from 15 starts at Ascot last time out.

The four-year-old mare by Sessions won her only start at Bunbury, and we thought her odds would be shorter than $4.60.

We recommend taking the odds before they shorten.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 9. (20:29) MGIB BM72 (1400m)

#5 – Platinum Shot

BET NOW

Platinum Shot is already a two-time winner this preparation, and we’re backing her to have another.

The five-year-old mare by Shooting to Win is a seven-time winner overall, and although her best form hasn’t come at Bunbury, that could change on Saturday.

Look for value each-way odds.

Stake: 1 Unit
