Matt Young’s Friday Bunbury Preview Posted on July 4, 2025July 4, 2025 | Posted by Matt Young Race 1 ALTA KING (5) gets a wonderful opportunity in this, did a power of work to get to the breeze last time out and it looked to take away from his finishing burst and he gave it away, drops in grade here and has that versatility, looks hard to beat. JACK MANNIX (3) was first up for the new stable last time out and put in a decent run, could improve further in this. TWOHEARTONEDIAMOND (6) is racing well but this is a tricky draw and will have to come from the back of the field, think she will find this hard. BLIND EDITION (2) could improve into the novelties; few runs under the belt and has the early speed. DAWSON SHARD (8) could improve, can watch things unfold early and get home. Tips: 5 3 8 2 Suggested Bet: ALTA KING (5) to win. Race 2 Competitive race here. SKIPPIN CLASS (1) looks the likely leader and has options in the race but was a decent win last time out and they may try and give him his chance here. SWEET IVY (4) has been racing in stronger, smaller field suits and can settle close enough to them and looks hard to hold out. POCKETFUL OF OPALS (2) didn’t have much luck last time out, should be handy and can run into the money. STRAUNY (7) was solid from the breeze last time out, may be driven in the same manner here. TA IN ADVANCE (3) faces a tricky draw and comes in fresh and MASTER LEIGHTON (5) is returning from an awkward draw. Tips: 4 2 1 7 Suggested Bet: SWEET IVY (4) to win. Race 3 EKARA NAVAJO (1) looks better suited in this from the draw, she is a winner at the track and distance and led on that occasion, so she is ticking a few boxes and is now third up into the preparation. PRIDDAH (7) can watch things unfold and be driven with a bit of confidence, expect him to run a solid race. CLASSNSMART (2) has got the good draw to get a solid run and be involved in the novelties and top end of the money if things go his way. THEYCALL ME STOOGE (6) will be running on but will get back with TEMPT THE STARS (5) who is mixing his form. Tips: 1 7 2 6 Suggested Bet: EKARA NAVAJO (1) to win. Race 4 THIS TIME JACKO (10) is racing in great form and has become a real winner; his best form has been when he is close to the speed so the challenge that awaits him is the barrier draw but he can watch things unfold and make decisions on the fly. HEAVENLY BLISS (1) has good early speed but has been beaten at the shorter trip recently, so she is not quite back to her better form. SHEHADI (7) must overcome the wide draw, but she is coming off a win on Tuesday and this is no harder. JOLTED CHARM (2) isn’t at her best and doesn’t look to get the front, hard to suggest her in her current form so far. ISAIDBOO (5) is a consistent performer, but the draw is awkward and same can be said for RIPPER VIEW (6) who is versatile, and her first up run was encouraging. I SEE FIRE (9) doesn’t win out of turn but shouldn’t be far away. Good competitive race. Tips: 10 7 6 5 Suggested Bet: THIS TIME JACKO (10) to win. Race 5 GET THE BOOTH (6) returned well, her form from last preparation was solid for a race of this nature, first run was encouraging and therefore the confidence is there that she can get back into the winners list. FRANKENSTEINSBRIDE (4) has elevated and has decent early speed, could lead and has options from there. MY SWEET ADDICTION (5) is a tough performer and may find herself in the breeze again. SPIRITOFANANGEL (10) is wonderfully consistent and can sustain the run in the final circuit. CODENAME ELLIOT (9) and ASHANTI PRINCESS (2) next best. Tips: 6 5 4 10 Suggested Bet: GET THE BOOTH (6) to win. Race 6 WRITE RITE RIGHT (5) looks hard to beat, hasn’t been far away from breaking through and is holding that consistency and is really developing some good early speed. HEADLINE ADDA (3) is an improving type and can run a bold race here. CHARLI BROWN (4) has been a hard one to nail down so far, looks to have ability but seems to mix form so far, comes in with claims. MISS MARCOPOLO (2) looks next best, two runs ago was solid. Tips: 5 3 4 2 Suggested Bet: WRITE RITE RIGHT (5) to win. Race 7 LINE THE STARZZZ (4) has really improved recently and has been racing some of the best trotters, looks well placed to return to the winners list, hard to beat. Stablemate CHUMANI (6) was better last time out and although not quite back to his best, his form is still against the better trotters also and must be respected. BETTY BOOTZ OFF (3) finds a race that she can keep the advantage and if she does it all correctly as well as lead, she will go close. ALDEBARAN SUNDOWN (5) looks next best with current form lines. Tips: 4 6 3 5 Suggested Bet: LINE THE STARZZZ (4) to win. Market Market
