Matt Young’s Tuesday Bunbury Preview Posted on July 29, 2025July 29, 2025 | Posted by Matt Young Race 1 DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE (1) is on debut and reads up well for this race, looks very hard to beat for Team Bond. AKOYA PEARL (12) returns and has an abundance of ability but also has got a few tricks, if she can keep it all together, she will be getting home strongly. GELSOMINO AMAL (11) drops in grade overall and gets a chance to improve numerically, looks a solid chance to run into the top 3. PIPERS PARADE (2) is a novelty chance with HEAD OFFICE (7) and ELVIRA JANE (10). Tips: 1 11 12 2 Suggested Bet: DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE (1) to win. Race 2 FLOAT MY BOAT (9) trialled up well and if he can bring that to the racetrack then he appears the one to beat, looks to have upside. OCEANFRONT (2) returns from a break and has a lovely draw, has the speed to lead and give them something to catch. BOOM IT UP (8) has the perfect draw and although he can mix his form, he looks a solid novelty chance. CAPTAIN PAPRIKA (7) has ability and some early speed, could settle forward and must be kept safe. AZIONE (3) is improving but looks more of a novelty chance in this. WRITE RITE RIGHT (11) will be running home. Tips: 9 2 8 7 Suggested Bet: BOOM IT UP (8) to place. Race 3 Open race here. Main chances for mine are SUGAR BOO (9) who continues to improve through the preparation and stands as an each way chance. I SEE FIRE (11) can do some work and in a race that seems to lack overall workers, I think he can play a significant part. CINDYS SECRET (10) was solid in return, is fitter and will be running home well. DAT LOVELY (12) is capable but the draw hurts. RADIANT BAY (2) needs to lift, place seems best. DEE JAYS BIG BOY (4) is not at his best but can improve in this grade. ZUEDE (5) will be running on but with no early speed he will be sitting back in the field. SIMPLYTHEBEST (6) was okay in her return run for new trainer, Corey Peterson, could improve in this. SWEET SASSYMOLASSY (7) returns and needs luck from the draw. SONIC SEELSTER (8) follows out a slow beginner. Tips: 9 11 6 10 Suggested Bet: SUGAR BOO (9) each way. Race 4 GOODTIME LOUIS (5) will be coming out hard, this represents a drop in grade for the gelding and looks a major player, especially if he can lead. BETTERTHAN SECRET (2) is nippy early and can be used at both ends at the mile, strong each way chance. BEACH CAPTAIN (1) rises in grade but his last two runs have been much better. SMOKEYS SHADOW (10) will be running on strongly, he has plenty of high speed to close off strongly and the tempo could suit him. EXTINCTION (8) is a place chance from the draw. BLUE BLAZER (4) is a novelty chance, can be versatile. FLYIN DISCO (11) needs luck from the draw with GOLD HORSESHOE (6) who is capable but disappointed last time out. Tips: 5 2 10 1 Suggested Bet: GOODTIME LOUIS (5) to win. Race 5 GOTA GOOD WARHOL (1) has been racing in consistent fashion, he has options from the draw but looks well placed, looks hard to beat in this. HEAVENLY BLISS (4) is a consistent performer but did disappoint on Saturday, can bounce back and looks versatile. THEJEWELINHEREYE (7) strips fitter and will be running on strongly in this. TRITTRITTBANGBANG (9) can watch things unfold and will be getting home well. HOTFOOT IT (8) is a novelty chance, can improve from the draw. VELVET SHADOW (3) is racing consistent and can be kept safe again. Tips: 1 4 7 9 Suggested Bet: GOTA GOOD WARHOL (1) to win. Race 6 BLOCKJORG (2) has the good speed and is suited to the mile, looks the likely leader and although races in a stronger grade, she should give a fair deal of cheek. THOMSON BAY (11) needs a touch of luck but finished the race off strongly, with an extra run he will be dangerous late. POCKETFUL OF OPALS (1) has the nice draw, and her best is good enough to be in the money. SKIPPIN CLASS (8) is a novelty chance, improves a great deal when on the peg line. Novelty chances to TUBBS FARQUHAR (3), ME FLASH (6), HEAVENLY WAGE (7) and MASTER LEIGHTON (10). Tips: 11 2 1 8 Suggested Bet: THOMSON BAY (11) each way. Race 7 STIRUP IRON JACK (1) is second up from a spell and is a bold front running type who performs well at the short course, looks the likely leader and will give them something to catch. SOHO GIGOLO (6) will be heading forward at the start and should be close enough, capable in this grade. SUNSHINE SWIFT (9) will be running on strongly with SWITCH BLADE (10) both are racing soundly. SPIRITOFANANGEL (5) lacks top end speed but always stands as a novelty chance. TEMPT THE STARS (8) is a place hope with THEYCALL ME STOOGE (7) will be running on and has come back well. Tips: 1 6 9 10 Suggested Bet: STIRUP IRON JACK (1) to win. Race 8 TWOBOB CRACKER (3) was a good win on Friday night and has been holding good consistency and loves the stands and performs well at the longer trip, ticks a lot of boxes and looks hard to beat, I am concerned he will be well found in the market though. BEAT THE BANK (7) is racing in good form, just needs an okay getaway to be a strong chance in this, looks a solid each way player. CODENAME MARCUS (10) will be running home strongly with his high closing speed. JILL MACH (1) comes in fresh and is a novelty player with TARTAN ROBYN (2) and AWAITINGINSTRUCTIONS (4) who hit the line well last time out. ROCK ME OVER (9) is suited at the longer trip, racing consistently and this looks a touch easier overall. STORMYSKYES (8) not the worst but needs a safe getaway. Tips: 7 3 10 9 Suggested Bet: BEAT THE BANK (7) each way. Race 9 ROSE OF CLARE (4) was impressive in a recent trial and appears hard to beat in this, should improve off the trial as well. PRINCESS DIAMOND (1) hit the line well in a recent trial and has the draw, looks a strong chance. ROCKSTAR QUALITY (10) is a consistent performer and will be running on well. JUST A PONY (3) closed off well in a recent trial and comes into novelty contention with GRIN DESTINY (2) who did a power of work last time out and raced soundly. MACH FREEWAY (7) comes in fresh, has shown enough promise but the draw hurts. Tips: 4 1 10 3 Suggested Bet: ROSE OF CLARE (4) to win. Market Market
