Shortest win price
Blindfolded (10)
1.40
Bunbury 1400m, maiden class for three-year-olds and up, Good 4 going, fine weather. The win market is headed by Blindfolded, Off The Richter, Zali's Gift, and Swing Dancer. This is a wide-open maiden with plenty of runners still on the hunt for a first win, and the market suggests a genuine battle up front. Blindfolded sits shortest at the barrier trial stage and brings a key booking with William Pike, who is running 43 per cent above market expectations in his last 100 rides. The debutant showed promise at Northam over 1300m in late October and has taken learnings from that run. The form of the next few in order—Off The Richter and Zali's Gift—tells a story of inexperience, but the jockey and trainer combinations here carry some edge.
Off The Richter comes in a hot J/T combo running 54 per cent above market expectations, and Holly Watson is riding 19 per cent above career average. The horse raced in the back half at Ascot at its second outing over 1200m but shapes as open to progression after picking up race experience. Zali's Gift won a Lark Hill trial on 2 November by a narrow margin but was a well-beaten 13th at Northam over 1600m. Coming back in distance to 1400m here is a positive angle, though the form on the Northam day leaves plenty to be desired. Swing Dancer showed the fastest finishing sectionals at its last outing and boasts a trial win, but failed to threaten when unplaced at Northam at second-up. The comment flags no early speed from the barriers.
Bragging Rights, from barrier 1, is a stand-out tempo runner who posted the fastest overall finishing sectionals at its last start and is paired with Chanel Cooper, who is outperforming career average by 43 per cent over the last 100 rides. That closing power and the jockey's current form rate a real chance here. Mr Frodo carries the next ticket and has been paired with Natasha Faithfull, who is 26 per cent above market expected in her last 100 rides—a jockey booking worth noting. The form does not leap off the page, but the recent jockey efficiency is a tick in the box.

Yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at 26; held in fourth at Collie over 5½f (maiden) three weeks ago; makes limited appeal.

Fronting up for second campaign (38-weeks). Two runs to date were sound enough. Furnished with time and will take benefit from recent trials. Right in the mix again fresh in this line-up.
ILB
Racing fresh after a break of 38 weeks. Good run when placing 3rd beaten by just short of 2 1/2L last run at Belmont and has drawn the rails. Prefer in a much weaker race.
RP
Finishing third was a good effort in February (Belmont Park) upped to 1m2½f; returning from a layoff here.
RSIS
Resuming after a break of 38 weeks. Made considerable ground when 3rd beaten by nearly 2 1/2L last time at Belmont and has a nice advantage with a good stall.

Seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice; last of 13 at Belmont Park four months ago in a Listed race; layoff to overcome; down in class this time but there are better alternatives here.
