Welcome to Bunbury for the Hyoketsu Summer Series Mdn over the 1675m trip on a good four surface under fine weather conditions. The local punters are lining up to dissect a tricky maiden where the win market order sees Ruthless Bloom heading proceedings nicely ahead of Spiritart, Lexan'Ruby, and Helios Amigos in the early betting sequence. With a big field assembled for this 3yo and upward test, sorting the wheat from the chaff is half the yarn, and we are ready to dive straight into the form lines to see who handles the trip.
Looking closer at the runners carrying support, Ruthless Bloom sits right at the top of calculations for trainer Robert Gulberti, coming off a close-up second at Northam over 1600m where she fought on tenaciously before a subsequent fourth at the same track. Spiritart is another prominent player in the market for Charlotte Skerritt, bringing consecutive minor placings including a solid third at Northam over 1600m and a runner-up finish right here at Bunbury prior to that. Lexan'Ruby is also prominent in the betting order, though her recent ninth at Northam suggests others might hold more appeal for the purists looking for sharp sectorals.
Further down the race book, we find runners like Helios Amigos who managed a handy third in a small field at Collie over 1400m, while speed maps show pace coming from the likes of Kingsley Town, Multiple Choice, Spiritart, and Rock Monster who map on pace to dictate terms early. Whether the front-runners can pinch a break or the off-midfield chasers like Ruthless Bloom can track into the race smoothly will dictate the finish, leaving punters plenty of angles to ponder as jump time approaches at 6:29 pm AEDT.

Yet to win in 14 starts; behind Helios Amigos over 7f at Collie (maiden) when not beaten far last month; meeting some horses in good form and not easy to fancy.
RSIS
Odds of 6/1 and picked up some late ground when 5th last run at Collie. Hasn't broken through maiden grade after 14 runs.

Solid performance in defeat in the 3yo+ Mdn at York. Drops to shorter trip. More a minor money chance here.

Came on strongly to finish 3rd when beaten by 1 3/4L last time at York. The large claim from Giaan Odonnell helps. Will be tested.

Has shown some recent improvement; regular fixture at this venue; turned in a solid effort in defeat 26 days ago, when third in a handicap with Kingsley Town just behind at York upped to 1m1½f.

Finished well when 3rd last time at York. Giaan Odonnell provides some weight relief.
