Bunbury Race 2 - Melbourne Cup Day At Bunbury On Sale Mdn
DYNASTIC LASS (11) crossed from a wide draw and just missed two back at Northam before being 1.4L off the winner here most recently. Should find the front again from an inside draw and she remains down in the weights. The blinkers and Pike are big ticks, and she can get the job done this time. PLAYA DEL SOL (5) brings the next clearest race form after running second to Pistone at this venue, and her Belmont Park fifth two back was also sound. Out in trip now is ideal and it wouldn't surprise to see her go one better this time around. ROCK ROYALTY (10) is the most interesting debutant, being a full brother to G3 winner Red Sun Sensation, with a close Belmont Park trial under his belt. Looks suited to this trip fresh and he can play a leading role. ZALI'S GIFT (4) is ticking along nicely without winning and has claims from a better barrier today. ARRESTEDEVELOPMENT (9) trialled well recently and has to come into calculations.

Resumed with a plain 12th at this track over 1100m, beaten just over six lengths after settling well back and failing to make ground. The bump near the 500m gives him some context, but not a strong excuse. Blinkers help, but he must lift sharply.

Had a hard run on debut when forced wide throughout and bumped near the 500m, but the result was still a distant last at this track, beaten over 12 lengths at big odds. He now stretches to around 1400m for the first time, which adds another unknown. First look at 1400m and has to find a lot more.

Worked home soundly when sixth at this track last week, beaten two and a half lengths by Browning Street after settling back. That was a more encouraging effort than her previous eighth as favourite here, when she covered ground and did not quicken. Won't be far away on her latest efforts.

Has progressed nicely this campaign and was a solid second at this track over 1100m last start, beaten two and a half lengths by Pistone after being run down late. Her Belmont Park fifth before that also had merit at big odds, beaten a length and a half. Out in trip now and she can go one better without surprising.

Makes his debut with a useful trial base, most notably a Lark Hill second over 950m a few weeks ago. He was a $50,000 Inglis yearling and gets Steven Parnham aboard, while the stable has had two debut winners from 15 starters in the sample provided. Finds the right race today and he can make his presence felt.

Debuts with a deep staying family behind him, being a full brother to G3 winner Red Sun Sensation and related to several black-type performers. His trials have been mixed, with a close Belmont Park third before a quieter hit-out two weeks ago, so race-day readiness still has to be judged carefully. 1400m fresh looks a big tick for him and he can make an impression on debut.

Comes off two genuinely competitive runs, following a Northam second beaten a neck with a fourth at this track last week, beaten a length and a half by Browning Street. The one-week back-up is the small query, but she is fourth-up, drawn barrier 1 and now gets William Pike with blinkers going on. Draws to find the front with the blinkers being reapplied and she'll be hard to hold out.

Shaped fairly on debut in a 3yo Maiden at this track, finishing fourth and beaten two and a half lengths at big odds after travelling handy and not quite finishing it off. She had trialled close-up at Lark Hill beforehand, so there is some grounding there. First go at 1400m is the query, but she can run into a placing.

Makes her debut after four Lark Hill trials, but the two most recent 950m efforts were sixth and ninth with margins over five lengths. Adam Durrant's stable gives her a professional base, though the supplied debut record shows no wins from 19 starters. Looks likely to improve with race experience.
