Bunbury Race 1 - Own The Dream 2026 Mdn Plate
SUNSET SESSION (1) will find this a fair bit easier than last time at Ascot, also finding the 1200m a bridge too far as a $5 chance when dropping out to finish last. The fresh run over this route was very good and he can bounce back. Very wary of SHARPASSA (10) with Pike booked. She's a filly by Sessions who has won 3 trials leading in. Tricky draw but you get the right man aboard which is a strong lead. DREAMLORD (4) is a gelding by Playing God on debut with Chris Parnham booked. He looked good winning a recent trial and has to be respected. MISS FINKMEYER (5) struggled last time at Ascot over 1200m but the fresh run at Albany was solid for an each-way chance. BAMBINO CHINO (7) is a rough hope if left alone in front.

Third-up today. Resuming held ground to the line 2nd of 9 at this track 3yo Mdn on December 7 over 1000m, 1.3 len behind Why She Stayed with 57kg at $1.75. Second run from a spell sat on the pace before fading to run last of 9 at Ascot 3yo W/Speed Pln on December 20 over 1200m, 6 len behind Major Flirt carrying 56kg at $5. This is a fair bit easier, can bounce right back.

Was at big odds at debut, sat behind the speed prior to fading 10th of 13 at Ascot W/Speed Mdn on December 20 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind London's Rascal carrying 56.5kg at $31. Might need more race experience.

First starter. Three-year-old filly by I'm All The Talk out of Beffunjar. At the most recent trial finished fourth on December 15 at Lark Hill over 950m. Well held in recent trials so others are preferred.
