Bunbury Race 8 - Bunbury Volkswagen South West Cup (L)

The feature of the day and OPPORTUNISTIC (5) gets the nod. He showed he was back in for two back before finishing well off a slow tempo at Belmont last start when backed off the map. Pike sticks with him today though and and getting out in trip is a big tick. He can return to winning ways. HOBA WEST (7) faded a touch third-up at Belmont, but he has been known to do that through his career. Can bounce back today and he'll be able to dictate from the front again. Sure to give a bold sight. DIAMOND SCENE (3) is improving nicely into the campaign and now Fiore hops on board. Can follow the speed across to land in a handy position and he can't be discounted on the back of a strong last start effort. GINGER BAKER (4) won this race last year and looks to get similar conditions today. Parnham hops back aboard having won 8 times aboard. Keep him on side. IN GOOD ORDER (1) can't be discounted getting out in trip again.

At the latest run 2nd of 9 at Belmont Park in the G3 Strickland on June 13 over 2000m, on a slow track; 1.4 len behind Western Empire with 59kg at $31. Before that eased back early on 7th of 13 at Belmont Park in the G3 Hyperion on May 30 over 1600m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Western Empire with 59kg at $101. Not going well enough. Back to form last start but needs to prove it wasn't a fluke.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 4th of 10 at Belmont Park Rtg 66+ on June 13 over 2200m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Startling Star with 58kg at $8. The race before that tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 9 at Belmont Park Rtg 66+ on May 30 over 2100m, on a slow track; head behind I Dreamed A Dream carrying 57.5kg at $1.80. Should get every chance down in the weights.

Form hard to fault. Last start won by 1.5 len at Belmont Park Rtg 66+ June 13 over 1650m on a rain affected track defeating Sixinch Heels with 58.5kg at $12. The race before that 3rd of 13 at Northam Wa Day on June 1 over 1600m, slow going 2 len behind Correct Choice carrying 58.5kg at $10. Would need to improve again despite a good last start win.
