Matt Young’s Wednesday Bunbury Preview Posted on December 30, 2025December 31, 2025 | Posted by Matt Young Race 1 MINK (10) returned in a hot field and loomed up before peaking late in good time, this looks more suitable and is fitter, should go close in this. MAJOR MOVES (8) has shown promise in the past and will get a soft run, could be dangerous. CROWN GENERAL (5) is on return but has good early speed, chance to cross and run a bold race. ROMAN GUARD (3) had excuses first up and could improve here. Novelty chances to SANFORD BOURKE (1) and STRANIERO DEL MARE (6). Tips: 10 8 5 3 Suggested Bet: MINK (10) to win. Race 2 Open race. THIS TIME JACKO (12) had been trialling well and debut run for the stable was solid, has a few strings to his bow in this grade and can be put into it, expecting him to run well. IMAHERO (1) creates interest being first up for Dean Miller, Dean does a good job with his stable, and this horse performs well when on speed. SWEET SASSYMOLASSY (4) has been a few steps below her best and could improve in this. DUNAMIS (6) is knocking on the door, his last two have been good but may have to do the work again. SUGAR BOO (5) was better last time out and continue that trajectory. JAMIE KIM (9) drops in grade and can improve in this. Tips: 12 1 6 4 Suggested Bet: THIS TIME JACKO (12) each way. Race 3 LIGHTFOOT LEIGH (5) is racing in top form and will likely speed off the arm and look for the top, he races well on speed and will go close in this. GET YA BETS ON (7) has strings to his bow and can be put into it and should be there at the business end. HOTFOOT IT (9) will be running on with IM ROCKIN ROD (8) who requires a bit of luck from the draw. Novelty chances to STRIKING A DEAL (2), ITSOKTOBEGREY (3) and SOMETHING CERTAIN (4) who has the ability but mixes his form. Tips: 5 7 9 8 Suggested Bet: LIGHTFOOT LEIGH (5) to win. Race 4 HURRICANEHOPE (9) has caught the eye with her last two runs and has the versatility to overcome the draw, looks a strong chance in this. SONIC SEELSTER (2) has the speed to lead early and then will look for cover, should be close enough and run well. ALEXANDRA THEGREAT (3) can improve as she has been a touch below her best in recent runs. THERE AND THEN (1) will be trying to hold up early, form has been decent. THEYCALL ME STOOGE (4) needs to find a position, but form has been solid against stronger, will be dangerous if he can find a spot early. MY ULTIMATE KEVVIE (8) can improve being back to a mobile. Tips: 9 4 2 3 Suggested Bet: HURRICANEHOPE (9) to win. Race 5 Deep race here. TA IN ADVANCE (1) is now third up into the preparation and has the lovely draw, has options and should run well here and be in the money. RELLIM (6) trialled up well and looks ready to run a big race. ALTA KING (7) can do work in his races and will head forward and likely be on speed and stick on strongly. IDEAL INTEREST (2) comes in fresh, might need the run but form during the prep has been strong. BROOKVALEGIRL (3) rises in grade. RONALD SCOTT (8) has an awkward draw to overcome on return, has ability. GOLD HORSESHOE (9) is not far away from showing his best again, keep safe. Tips: 1 6 7 8 Suggested Bet: TA IN ADVANCE (1) each way. Race 6 Another open race. SWITCH BLADE (5) has versatility in this grade and likely is on speed in this, should run a big race here. CLASSNSMART (3) is knocking on the door, he can do work in this grade and if he can find the top he becomes very hard to beat. EASTON QUALITY (2) has been a few steps below her best in recent runs but has the speed to be on the front end and should settle close enough. ZUEDE (1) caught the eye last run and was a winner at his track recently, early speed is a concern. ISLAND TEE REX (6) will be running on but needs to find a position and looks likely to settle back and run home, tempo needs to suit. Tips: 5 3 1 2 Suggested Bet: SWITCH BLADE (5) each way. Race 7 SUPREME RHAPSODY (2) trialled nicely at Pinjarra and showed good gate speed, looks likely to lead or be close enough and be very hard to beat. FLOAT MY BOAT (5) has had more than his fair share of opportunities to break through, ready to win but is starting to trend in a direction of not winning. NIFE TOA GUNFIGHT (7) must overcome a wide draw but can get into the money. ALLIZEE (1) has been improving recently but early speed a concern. Novelty chance to BOOM IT UP (7) and THE PLATINUM STORM (8). Tips: 2 5 7 1 Suggested Bet: SUPREME RHAPSODY (2) to win. Race 8 PAPER CRANE (5) has only had the one race start but was impressive and this looks suitable on return, hard to beat and has toughness. STARANNA (8) continues to improve and from the back row draw she will need a few things to go right. IT AINTEASY (2) was close hanging in there before breaking last time out, this grade should suggest a better run. CHRISTOPHANO (6) returns and has shown promise, could get into the money. CAPPY THE FIREY (4) and BOUNCE BACK BUDDY (1) both a novelty chance. Tips: 5 8 2 6 Suggested Bet: PAPER CRANE (5) to win. Market Market
