Matt Young’s Saturday Bunbury Preview Posted on July 9, 2026July 9, 2026 | Posted by Matt Young Race 1 WRITE RITE RIGHT (3) has decent early speed and finished off well on Tuesday in his last run, looks a strong chance going into this and will be fancied with the trainer/driver combo but can get the job done. THUNDER WARRIOR (8) is ready to win, good effort from a poor draw on Tuesday and prior run was decent, will use that high speed late. PAPPINBARRA LADY (1) is a much better horse on speed, and the draw suits her with CAMEL PLUS (2) capable but can be a little bit wayward at times. CAPPY THE FIREY (9) is ready to win, I know, madness but 82 start maiden is knocking on the door, unlikely to be tonight but keep following, it’s close. Tips: 3 8 1 9 Suggested Bet: WRITE RITE RIGHT (3) to win. Race 2 AUTUMN LADY (8) is highly talented but is on return from a tricky draw, wouldn’t want to be diving in too short but with even luck she will be very hard to beat. OAKLEY (10) didn’t have much luck last time out and this grade suits, should go well. MAJOR BUZZ (11) and SIR ALEC WHITBY (12) both face challenging draws but are suited to this grade. GEARSINAWHIRL (1) looks the likely leader and is a novelty chance at the mile with DISPATCHER (5) drawn awkwardly for her racing style and LOCAL RESIDENT (7) to be respected on return but faces a tough draw first up. Tips: 8 10 11 12 Suggested Bet: AUTUMN LADY (8) to win. Race 3 Open race. CLOUD NINE (1) now fourth up into the preparation could come out and look to lead, was put into the race last time out and couldn’t finish it off but is suited in this grade to improve. SNAKEY BAY (8) drawn to get a good run and does her best racing on the pegs, expecting a decent run. SUPREMEDREAM (5) continues to improve and will have to do some work in this but should go well. GET YA BETS ON (7) was solid in his return run, draw is tricky but has that high speed to bring him into it. MACHANE SAID (2) a novelty chance with ISLAND TEE REX (9) and MISTER KOPA (10). Tips: 1 8 5 7 Suggested Bet: SNAKEY BAY (8) each way. Race 4 AMERICAN BLAZE (11) trialled up impressively for the new camp and his win at Pinjarra was in 1.56.8 last time in, he has class and looks to be ready to win on return, suitable grade and the one to beat. IDEAL INTEREST (1) is racing well and can be given his chance in this, looks the potential leader and will run a strong race. MAJOR DISCO (3) is a funny horse, he runs with herd and this will be no different and culminates in him being a strong place chance again. FROM TIGERLAND (2) drawn better and can get a good run close to the speed and should be ready to run a bold race. JAXON MORGAN (4) racing soundly but faces a tricky draw, capable of being in the money. Tips: 11 1 2 3 Suggested Bet: AMERICAN BLAZE (11) to win. Race 5 SEBASTIAN JAMES (7) returns and has plenty of depth, looks suited in this on return and can be put into the race as he pleases. SWIZZLESTICK (2) is racing without a great deal of luck, draw helps and should be close enough to run well. WICKED HUSTLER (5) is a tricky horse to catch, has had a few opportunities now but on ability is right up to these. LUCKY COPY (8) will be running on well and looks a chance with HUNT THE MAGIC (1) who will improve off the inside draw but looks more a place chance. LONGREACH BAY (6) is not at his best but anywhere near right would see him run a race. Tips: 7 2 8 5 Suggested Bet: SEBASTIAN JAMES (7) to win. Race 6 RUSSIAN SNIPER (4) has been trialling the house down and looks perfectly placed on return, showed good speed in a recent trial and could bounce on the bunny here and be the one to beat. THESUMMAOFGEORGE (1) has shown enough promise to be a solid player here, comes in first up for the new stable but will be close enough and dangerous. LEO NARRDO (10) is talented but faces a tricky draw with THE BELL HUEY (11). ROCKABILLY JOE (5) a novelty chance with THE VITRUVIAN MAN (6) and if either XCELERATOR (13) or especially SEAYA ROCKNROLL (14) get a start they must be included as both have shown decent ability. Tips: 4 1 11 10 Suggested Bet: RUSSIAN SNIPER (4) to win. Race 7 EL RAES GIRL (9) is one of my favourites on resumption, she has strings to her bow and looks a solid chance in this, race fitness is a slight concern but think it maps well for her to go over the top of them late. IN FULL FLIGHT (1) is talented and has the speed to lead, can get a bit keen and this detracts from the finishing burst late, will be hard to run down though. CHEFS KISS (3) should be close enough and has a good turn of foot, respect as she is talented. SHOO BOOZY (4) won in slow time on return and looks a top 4 player with SHOOBEES BOMB (8) who is ideally drawn for the new camp and can be thrown into the novelties. Tips: 9 3 1 4 Suggested Bet: EL RAES GIRL (9) to win. Race 8 PAS DE BOURREE (7) has form in good time around Seaside Serenade, which is a really strong form line for this, she ran soundly at the middle distance in her return run but looks to be all high speed at this stage so the mile suits better and the depth of the field suits, very hard to beat. TEN DEEP (6) trialled up well and comes in fresh, trial form was around Some Dancer who has shown good promise so expecting a nice debut run here. WILD THYME (4) improves every time she steps out there and this should be no different. SOARINGFORGLORY (5) ran her only trial at Globe Derby upside down when leading and weakening late, respect first up with the camp, could improve. Tips: 7 6 4 5 Suggested Bet: PAS DE BOURREE (7) to win. Race 9 WAKE UP GEOFF (6) has been exceptionally placed on return and should win this with a leg in the air, he will be short, but any return on investment is value in this. SHOOBETCHA (3) looks the challenger, should spear across and lead and will give cheek at his best but he is facing simply different class. ALVAREZ (1) a solid place chance with WESSY KID (5). Tips: 6 3 1 5 Suggested Bet: WAKE UP GEOFF/SHOOBETCHA to Exacta. Market Market
