Bunbury Race 5 - Swan Draught Hcp (C1)
QUEDJINUP (6) resumes with a very nice trial under her belt around some handy types. She won on debut at this track before finishing second to Rifleman in a 2yo Open at Belmont Park, beaten just under a length as favourite. She's a very progressive type who can continue to work through the grades. ANGEL EXPRESS (8) is the obvious threat after winning her maiden at this venue as an odds-on favourite, and the fact she overcame early interference before beating Tex 'N' Cee gives the debut effort substance. Form may have been franked from that effort already today and this shapes similarly. Can repeat. MELODY FAIR (5) was big odds but only beaten just over a length in Saturday company at Belmont Park first-up, so the easier setup and apprentice claim keep her right in play. RUTHLESS ANGEL (2) is building nicely this time in work and can't be left out of calculations. MY DANNY BOY (1) can give a bold sight on resumption.

Returns from a four-month break after ending last campaign with a Belmont Park seventh in 3yo NMW1Y company, beaten just under four lengths after tracking the speed and failing to quicken. His previous third at the same venue was much stronger, fighting on when beaten just over half a length. Has good early speed and can give a bold sight on resumption.

Worked home soundly for third at this track last start, beaten a length and a half after travelling just off the lead in a small field. She had earlier charged home from well back in a 3yo Open at Belmont Park, so the third-up timing is favourable. Building nicely and can put her best foot forward.

Broke through in a 3yo+ Maiden at this venue last start, beating Cartier Glow by a nose after sitting close and covering ground throughout. That was a deserved reward, but it followed a ninth here when slow away and wide. Narrow winner last time but has to repeat it.

Returns from an eight-month spell after ending last campaign well beaten in the G3 Gimcrack Stakes at Ascot, finishing last behind Aurum Belle at long odds. Her run prior was a 2yo Open win at this track, coming from well back to beat Properata by a neck. Has a 2yo Open win at this track, but the G3 failure before the break makes her hard to trust.

Returns from a three-month break with a tidy two-start record and a Lark Hill trial to bring her on. Last campaign she won a 2yo Maiden at this track as a well-supported favourite, then finished strongly for second to Rifleman in a 2yo Open at Belmont Park when again favourite. Trial was impressive behind a smart type recently and she has plenty of upside to work through the grades this time in.

Returns from a ten-month absence after a plain seventh at Pinjarra in a 2yo+ Class 1, beaten three and a half lengths when close enough but unable to finish off. The run prior at this venue was similar, with keen-going manners and little response late. Others appeal more.

Made a professional debut impression at this track, winning a 3yo Maiden by just under a length as the odds-on favourite despite being bumped early and eased near the 1000m. She drove hard late to beat Tex 'N' Cee, and William Pike staying aboard is a clear asset. Impressive on debut over 1100m and everything points to a repeat effort again.

Backs up quickly after finishing sixth at this track over 1000m, beaten two and a half lengths at 101-1 after settling rearward and making late ground. Her previous effort at Northam was only moderate when last over 1400m, also at long odds. Others make more appeal.
