Bunbury Race 5 - Swan Draught Mdn
WAR TRAIL (2) has the most reliable recent profile, returning from a two-month let-up after a Northam fourth when beaten a length and a half and making ground despite covering ground. His earlier long-neck second at this track reads well for a Mdn of this standard, and he is still lightly raced enough to have more to offer. KAZZAMATAZZ (8) is the immediate danger after being beaten only a neck at Northam over 1000m, with the step to 1200m the main qualification given she is yet to place at the distance. BEYOND A DOUBT (6) was costly as an odds-on chance at Albany but kept picking up after a slow start, and first-time blinkers plus William Pike give him a clear rebound angle. MYSTIC EMPRESS (7) was plain last start at Northam, yet her prior fifth at this track had more finish in it and barrier 1 gives her a platform to turn that into a place result. JARVO (4) creates some interest on debut.

Resumed with a sound fifth at Northam, beaten just under two lengths after sitting handy and being held up approaching the 200m. His Kalgoorlie third the start prior, beaten a length and a half, also reads honestly for this Mdn level. The win record is the query, but he can run into the minors.

Returns from a two-month let-up after a solid fourth at Northam, beaten a length and a half by Empire Of Rome despite covering ground and still making up late ground. The run prior was a long-neck second at this track when near the top of betting, so his exposed form is among the strongest here. Drawn out this time, but his fresh run suggests he's back in good order and ready to improve.

Returns from a five-month break after ending last campaign with two well-beaten runs at this track, the latest a sixth on soft ground when beaten ten lengths after being slow to begin. He was also eighth here the run before after racing wide. The claim helps, but he must lift sharply at 1200m.

Makes his debut with only one public trial to guide the assessment, finishing fourth over 950m at Lark Hill and beaten 2.62 lengths. The 3kg claim reduces the task and the trainer-sire combination has produced a strong place rate from a small sample. Creates some interest.

Has been safely held at both recent Northam runs, finishing second last most recently when beaten six and a half lengths after settling back and making no impression. She did race wide the start prior when fifth over 1000m, but was unwanted in the market there as well. Others bring stronger winning credentials.

Gets first-time blinkers third-up and has William Pike taking over, which gives him a clear chance to rebound from a disappointing odds-on fourth at Albany when slow away and beaten just over eight lengths. He still picked up in the straight there, as he had done at Northam the start prior. Can rebound.

Was disappointing at Northam last start, finishing ninth and beaten six and a half lengths after settling back, covering ground and making no impression. Her previous fifth at this track was better, charging home from the rear and just missing the placings despite starting at big odds. Barrier 1 helps her claims.

Closed off strongly first-up at Northam when second to Maestra, beaten a neck at long odds after settling well back, covering ground and being bumped. That was a sharp return from a lightly raced mare who has placed twice from four starts, and Lucy Fiore has been aboard for both minor placings. Better suited now and she can feature in the finish again.

Made an encouraging debut at Northam when seventh to Maestra, beaten just over three lengths after being restrained early, covering ground and being hampered late. She did finish behind Kazzamatazz there, but the margin was not excessive and she has upside second-up. New to 1200m and must turn the tables on Kazzamatazz, but has upside.

Returns from a ten-month spell after a poor first campaign, ending it at this track when last in a Mdn and beaten over 13 lengths at long odds. Her debut at Pinjarra was also well held, so race form is a clear concern. Race form remains the major hurdle.

Had excuses on debut at Geraldton, where she was tightened at the start and raced wide throughout before finishing eighth, beaten just over eight lengths. She was big odds there and could not challenge late, so the market and margin still read cautiously. Improvement is required second-up.

Debuts off two Belmont Park trials, the latest a solid second over 1000m, which gives her at least some readiness for her first race start. There is also family support, with Cantrix winning on debut over 1200m at Pinjarra Scarpside. Has a debut-winning sibling, but the wide draw and lack of race experience temper confidence.

Was unwanted in betting on debut at Northam and finished seventh of nine, beaten just over four lengths after being restrained shortly after the start and making some late impression from well back. That gives her a small excuse and some scope to improve second-up. Still has to improve plenty to trouble the main chances.
