Think Pink Daze (7)
2.90
Welcome to Bunbury for the Gen X Engineering Hcp (C5) over 1200m on a good four track with fine weather overhead. The win market order has Think Pink Daze heading the list closely followed by Bannered, History Won't Care, and Nature's Reckoning. The numbers jump off the page for some strong chances in this field, so let us dive straight into the form and find a winner.
Taking a closer look at the market leaders, Bannered comes here trained by D T Mcauliffe and was last seen pushing forward to score at Belmont Park first up over this distance. That effort rated a solid figure and suggests this runner has plenty of early speed to use from barrier six. History Won't Care is another that rates a real chance second-up after being well back at Ascot following a long spell, with key rider William Pike taking the reins and performing well above market expectations in recent rides.
Further down the pack, Think Pink Daze resumes after an eighteen-week break following a consistent previous campaign that included a Lark Hill barrier trial win and some fast finishing sectionals last start. Nature's Reckoning also shapes as a major player after putting in solid runs at Northam recently. With speed groups showing Rodney Oh Rodney leading and Bannered up on pace, this 1200m dash sets up nicely. The numbers say these key chances are right in the mix, so up ya go and good luck with your selections!

Resuming (52-weeks). Placed at Belmont Park first-up last campaign while readied with some soft trial work. Last campaign was against better opposition. Long break but can make his presence felt. Monitor betting.
ILB
First run back from a break of 52 weeks. Rounded them up when winning last start at Belmont but will be down in distance. Could be in the mix.
RP
Narrow scorer in a handicap at Belmont Park a year ago; has won at this course; been off the track a long time; despite that Belmont Park success, may be vulnerable.

Racing fresh after a break of 52 weeks. Ran over the top of them when winning last time at Belmont but dropping in distance. Watch betting.

Narrow winner of a handicap (Belmont Park) last month; his victims included Lieutenant Dunbar, Romming Danger and Jelly Can Run; thriving at present; capable of going well.

Led throughout to win by a margin of 1/2L last run at Belmont. Rates as one of the key chances.

Well back and never a factor at Ascot off long spell. Will be fitter second-up. Can make his presence felt with even luck.
ILB
Jumped at $9.50 and ran 7th last time at Ascot. Looking for an improved run. William Pike rates highly. Will be hitting the line strongly. The testing material.
RP
He meets the required standard ability wise; fair effort when beaten just under 5l, finishing seventh of 13 at Ascot four weeks ago; William Pike will be looking to further their good record; shown he can win fairly recently and by no means ruled out.
RSIS
Odds of 17/2 and came in 7th last run at Ascot. Looking past the last run. William Pike takes the reins today. Expected to be flashing home. Entitled to prove too strong for most of these.

Back from a let up. At $71.00 showed some merit late when 5th last time here. Ran 5th in a barrier trial at Lark Hill on Nov 2nd. Will find this tough.

Resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a fifth career win); finished fifth but wasn't beaten too far (just over 4l) two months ago; finished ahead of Jelly Can Run but was behind Lieutenant Dunbar; big chance as he has won after a similar break before.

On a short back up. Started $81.00 and peaked on the run when 4th last run at Belmont. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Remote chance at best.
