Huge plunge PUSHY PRINCESS to start a short price favourite! Alas beaten 1/2len into 2nd spot. First-class effort considering the very long layoff!!

Bunbury Sunday...

Race 1 not a bad last start effort by former Victorian EGOTISM at 2nd start in WA. Back to a maiden today and looks a genuine winning hope.

Race 3 former Victorian ALICIA MARIE looked very unlucky at WA debut when had support. Has won a barrier trial since and will be a lot fitter for this hit-out.

Race 4 former Victorian SARACEN STAR should be ready to show something following 3 starts post-spell in WA. Drawn a bit wide but has an in-form jockey aboard to compensate a little.

Yet another ex Victorian TOM COUREUSE has performed with merit 2 WA starts. Faces a handy field race 7 but drawn to get a good run in transit.

Race 8 we have ex Victorian EXHILARATING who’s been a beaten fav 2 starts in WA. Should be spot-on for this and sure to have an army of supporters. The lightly raced MR MUNDINE won a Kilmore maiden, had a short stint in SA and completed his most recent campaign in Darwin.
Has had 3 trials in the west and might surprise while fresh. Another ex Victorian LADY KISEKI ran a nice race C3 at her WA debut. Didn’t have the best of luck that run and although suited by over more ground does have a nice alley and drops back to a C2 today.

Didn't think much of this race as to providing much betting value. Just goes to show you! Well done iggy25!!

WA Derby market swayer
 

as quoted on the westoz site...'While on riding engagements, will the Pontiff stick with Scenic Shot or will he stay with Imaginaire?'..I think he'll stick with SS

I'm not that sure anchor, Imaginaire would now be at her best following her good run in the Oaks...tough call imo!

Albany today
 

Race 2 small field with a few chances but like Paris Raider. Goes good this track & distance.

Race 4 ditto Pure Black.

Race 5 Profair racing best form career.

Race 6 Carnchawyn EW.

Well Harvey is sticking with Scenic Shot as you predicted anchor but I'm still taking Imaginaire at the EW odds think she'll do best of the ladies. Scenic Shot should beat the fellows. Also have a liking for Impact Rating.

Scenic Shot, Imaginaire, Impact Rating, Moodometer & Black Amber.

Hard to see the 2 favs not fighting it out. Canny Jack a lip over Paris Petard. Fighting Fox, Ravinia & Oroya Gold next best (novelties).

Paris Petard easily, with Just Les a good place chance. A win by PP will see me win the WestOzRacing Super Stable Comp.

speed tip Ascot saturday
 

Nice selections there, westineast. I also am interested in what Let Go Thommo does over the trip today...

Sat 08 Apr 2006 R8#10 Magic Haul. Don't be fooled by his formline - this boy is improving with every run. He never saw daylight last time when I expected him to quinella the race with winner Gran Paradiso. My estimate for that unlucky run is 97-99 which compares well with the winner's 97. Before that was a nice 101 when pipped by in form Action Pak. Today I see him improving again by around 4 points which puts him right in this finish. Lets hope he can get me my first collect for the year!

And I really like Impact Rating in the Derby...

Good Punting

Belmont Trials
 

West Love was the most impressive trial winner at Belmont yesterday.
Clocking the best of the day for the 1000M, the 3YO filly a winner of 4 races from 10 starts (also ran close 4th Gimcrack Stakes) cruised the final bit and looks set for a good campaign this time around.

Likewise as always "THE GUT" coming out on top!

Bunbury Wednesday...

As previously posted huge plunge PUSHY PRINCESS to start a short price favourite at WA debut, beaten 1/2len into 2nd spot which was a first-class effort considering the very long layoff. 2nd-up today race 1 with Willie Pike taking over from Alana Samson (who’s been engaged for first starter SAFE CROSSING same race) REQUEST GRANTED from NSW debuts race 1 after a long layoff. Just 3 starts for this 5YO gelding, the last two beaten fav. Has performed fairly 2 recent WA barrier trials.

Race 4 sees the WA debut for former cockroach BRADETTE. Hasn’t raced since late 2003. Pacifiers on and has performed ‘fresh’ in the past. Same race former Victorian mare COUNTRY JOY should be fighting fit after 4 starts in the west but is racing out of class.

Race 6 former South Aussie CONJURE debuts in the west. Blinkers first time today, racing out of class but drawn well and will be ridden by Alana Samson. Former Victorian LADY KISEKI should have benefited from her 2 previous starts in the west but like Conjure is racing out of class.

Race 7 former banana-bender IMPERIAL THEATRE resumes 2nd campaign in the west. Only 2 previous WA starts heavily backed (and beaten) first-up C1 then unplaced C3. Has the services of the FISH today and may be primed for another first-up tilt.

Race 8 we have 2 former Victorian’s engaged – 3YO gelding RAW HAUL debuts in WA following a short spell, has gone well ‘fresh’ previously. Maiden galloper EGOTISM should be at her peak for this with 3 good (WA) runs under her belt.

Winner 8 in row last prep.

EASTER STAKES
 

Smallish field and race distance should suit Lukaboom, he'll do me ;)

Ascot Sat
 

Others I like tomorrow include Foxy Boy (race 2) the 1500 should suit even better than the 1200 (his last 2 wins); Metallic Storm should make it 5 in a row (race 3); Lord Lonsdale to make it 6 in a row (race 5); No Johnnie Roucke to contend with so Sergeant Mack should take out the 7th; and Let Go Thommo should return to the winners list (race 8)

Ascot R2 - Harvey?
 

In this race tomorrow wondering why Paul Harvey is off Kia Ora Miss and back on to Alpine Lad. He's had a good association with Mathews so maybe that swayed the decision or he think's it's a better chance? Looking at the video of their last race I just can't see Alpine Lad improving 3 lengths even if it was over 1400m and tomorrow over 1500m. Moves like this though make you ponder a little. Either way the winner should be from no.s 1 or 2

Alpine Lad covered a lot of extra ground (from wide barrier) last start anchor so the 3 lens diff is misleading also blinkers first time that race and could settle better tomorrow with that run under his belt.

York Sat
 

Forest Frolic (race 5) put in a nice run last start at Ascot. Previously won this the course and distance and looks a strong show tomorrow.

Dongara Sat
 

Micks Legend and Riding On A Storm should fight out the Dongara Cup; Blessed Tudor and Little Mac the sprint.
