Race preview

Bunbury's hosting a Class 1 sprint at 8:20 pm AEDT over 1200m on Good(4) track, and the win market is telling an interesting tale. Merivale Louvain sits shortest in the odds, with Free To Fly and Universal Hotness sharing the next line. The speedMap setup sees three runners—Espinho, Free To Fly, and Universal Hotness—grouped on pace, which figures to shape the early tempo. Galactic Community leads from barrier 9, while backmarkers Merivale Louvain, Banffshire, and Royal Defense will need to hunt from the trail. Gingerbread Girl and Varazze occupy the middle ground.

Merivale Louvain's the market choice and the form suggests punters aren't wrong. The R W Price inmate was genuinely impressive on debut at Bunbury back in June, and while the Lark Hill trial in late October wasn't pushed hard, the record reads like a horse that knows this track and can fire fresh. Joey Azzopardi takes the ride from barrier 4, and the map suits—Bunbury punters have clocked that this runner outperforms market expectations by 15 per cent at this circuit. Free To Fly, trained by T M Wolfe alongside jockey Chanel Cooper, was nearly there in maiden company at Belmont first-up last preparation after a 22-week freshen. That Wolfe and Cooper combination is tracking 52 per cent better than expected, though a rider change today—Cooper replacing previous pilot Simon Miller—adds a question mark. Universal Hotness presents a different puzzle: first-up after 30 weeks, closer in Class 5 company at Bunbury last campaign, yet the trainer's strike rate sits at just 8 per cent and the stable is underperforming market expectations by 37 per cent.

Worth noting is Gingerbread Girl, rated 78 but carrying the fastest overall finishing sectionals from her last start at Pinjarra six weeks back. The ex-Ryan Hill mare in Deborah Hagan colours could get into placing money fresh in this company, though she's fourth favourite and jockey Jessica Valas's recent form sits 38 per cent below her career average. Varazze's another who ran on hard last time out, and Galactic Community—from the hot Wolfe combo—has genuine early speed from barrier 9, boasting a brilliant recent strike rate of 41 per cent better than career average. The race shapes up as a genuine contest between the market principals and a few roughies with genuine form credentials.

Showed good resolve to salute on debut at Northam in a competitive finish. Extra trip may assist. Worth a look.

Finished hard to win last start at Northam and having second career run. Racing in stronger company.

RSIS

Reeled them in when winning last start at Northam and fitter for debut run. Challenged by a tougher grade.

Made steady inroads but the winner was out of reach at Northam for new stable. Will be fitter second-up. Will take stopping in this company.

ILB

Was strong late when 3rd last start at Northam and gets a favourable barrier.

Ran well to finish third (beaten 2l) at Northam over 5½f (handicap) last month; closely matched with Varazze on that running on debut for this trainer; likely player.

RSIS

Produced an eye catching run when 3rd last time at Northam and can find a nice position from the draw.

Responded strongly to score in small field at Kalgoorlie for new trainer. Harder now but in winning form and can give some cheek at odds.

Shot clear to win by 3 3/4L last time at Kalgoorlie but rising in grade. Racing for a new trainer.

Won by a huge margin of 3 3/4L last time at Kalgoorlie but rising in grade. Racing for a new trainer.

Failed to threaten at Belmont Park at double-figure odds. Coming back in distance. Needs to recapture form.

ILB

Faded to finish 10th last start at Belmont. Definite contender.

Only once has he got into the winners' enclosure; last of ten over 7f at Belmont Park (handicap) 13 days ago; a lot on his plate here and others more appealing.

Faded to finish 10th last run at Belmont. Can feature today.

Resuming (22-weeks). Ex Simon Miller in WA. Consistently around the mark last prep. Nearly got the chocolates in Maiden company at Belmont Park first-up last time in while prepared for return with a Lark Hill trial.

ILB

First up from a break of 22 weeks and threw down a serious challenge first up last preparation at Belmont. First race for a new trainer but down in trip. Not at all out of this race.

No impression when tenth of 14 over 1m at Belmont Park (handicap) in May; first start for trainer; meeting some horses in good form and not one to rely on.

RSIS

Resuming and threw down a serious challenge resuming last preparation at Belmont. First race for a new trainer but coming back in trip. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Second campaign (19-weeks). Impressive debut at Bunbury 11 Jun. Not pushed out Lark Hill trial 19 Oct. Can challenge again fresh in this company.

ILB

Fresh after a spell. Ran on strongly when 2nd beaten by 1/2L last start at Belmont. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Found one too strong when beaten half a length at Belmont Park in June in a conditions race; has winning form at this track; not had much racing - third outing here; one to be interested in.

RSIS

Back from a break. Good performance to run into 2nd last time at Belmont. Will be trying to topple them late. Attracts support.

Fresh from a break of 30 weeks. Folded up in the straight when 9th last start at Ascot. Respect the betting.

Last of nine over 5½f at Ascot (handicap) in April; has won here; others have more pressing claims as hits the crossbar all too often.

Freshened. Sent out $151 when unable to threaten this course second-up. Leaning towards others here.

ILB

Jumped at $151.00 and average performance when 10th last start at this venue but has the ideal draw. Expected to settle towards the tail. Up against stronger competition. Much prefer the look of others in this race.

Attempting to get off the mark at the sixth time of asking (fifth his best finish so far); beaten just over 5l in tenth in a maiden upped to 7f 36 days ago; is passed over.

RSIS

Started 150/1 and below expectations when 10th last time around here but has a nice advantage with a good stall. Might be ridden for luck. Up in grade.

Sent forward and showed good resolve to salute on debut at Collie in a competitive finish. Tougher alley. Solid hope if butters up in stronger race.

ILB

Snagged a narrow win last time at Collie and was a debutant last start. Should muster plenty of early toe. The large claim from Sharni Webster should help. Will be in the finish.

Narrow verdict first time out by a nose at Collie at 13-2 ten days ago; strong claims.

RSIS

Managed to come out on top by the slightest of margins last time at Collie and having second race start. Shows good early pace. Sharni Webster provides some weight relief. Will be in the finish.

First-up (32-weeks). Ex Ryan Hill in WA. Could get into the placings fresh in this company.

ILB

First run back from a break of 32 weeks. Started $26.00 and was well beaten when 6th last time at Pinjarra. Coming to a new trainer. Entitled to be a big price.

Finished sixth beaten 2½l at Pinjarra in March; achieved just the one win; representing new yard today; a few rivals look in good form so may have to settle for supporting role at best.

RSIS

Back after a 32 week break. At 25/1 folded up in the straight when 6th last run at Pinjarra. Coming to a new trainer.

AAP

First-up (23-weeks). Ex P J Naylor. Trained here now. Largely struggled in his post maiden runs. Ended last prep in ordinary fashion.

ILB

Resumes after a break. Was $26.00 and didn't attack the line when 8th last time at Kalgoorlie. First start for a new trainer. Prefer in something a lot easier.

Held when eighth beaten 5l at Kalgoorlie over 6½f (handicap) in May; has struggled to factor since winning a handicap at Narrogin last November; runs for a new stable here; this looks a decent race so he can be taken on.

RSIS

First run back from a break. Started 25/1 and couldn't stay in touch when 8th last start at Kalgoorlie. First start for a new trainer.

AAP

Closed off late from the tail at Northam. Can't enthuse.

ILB

Jumped at $151.00 and passed some rivals in the late stages when 5th last start at Northam. Likely to get back in the run. Has struggled so far this preparation. Rough hope.

Can be a player at this level; finished just behind He's A Hustler when fifth at Northam over 5½f (handicap) last month.

RSIS

Started 150/1 and inched into 5th last start at Northam. Yet to fire recently with no placings from 7 runs. Will be giving the leaders a big start.

Odds correct as at Tue 3 Nov, 8:20 pm AEDT. Odds can change.
