Bunbury Race 2 - Nexus Ms Pace
STAPLETON (4) scored a decisive win last time out over 1177m at Pinjarra, getting home by 14 metres in an impressive display. His last-start form is good enough to take out a race like this. SKIPPIN CLASS (3) finished second last start, beaten 40 metres at Bridgetown over 2190m. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. SPIRITOFANANGEL (9) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when she finished fourth at Gloucester Park over 2130m. RONA MAY (8) can secure a cosy run early on and is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 6 metres at Wagin over 2180m.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Chillin at this track over 2100m in a 4yo+ NR 56 to 80 on April 12 at $126. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Classnsmart at Wagin over 2180m in a 4yo+ NR up to 55 GH on April 17 at $10. Can play a role in the finish again.

Backing up quickly since being well beaten Northam over 2190m, 7 days ago and two back 5th (Fr3) over 2130m after showing early pace at Central Wheatbelt, well beaten by Tempt The Stars (2:40.70) in 4yo+ 2-4 WINs on April 13 at $5.50. This looks a far sterner task.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2.75 m fourth behind Marbeechsam at Gloucester Park over 2130m 4yo+ No NR last start. Before that was beaten 3.5 metres second at this track over 2100m in 4yo+ NR up to 55 on April 12. Sure to be right there at the business end.
