Bunbury Race 2 - Bunbury Volkswagen Mdn
HEAVY METAL (4) is knocking on the door of a maiden win and now gets the blinkers on for the first time. CJP hops in the saddle now and the inside barrier could see her a little closer in the run. Best form is much better than maiden grade and she can shed the tag this time around. WON FOR THE GIRLS (1) was solid fresh over 1100m before dropping back in trip last start and missing out as the odds-on favourite. Pike remains with him as he steps out to 1200m again today in what looks a smart move by connections. Expecting him to play a major role. LADY COCO (5) has the speed to roll across from out wide and was only gunned down late at Albany last time out. She's shown plenty in her career thus far and while this is tougher, it looks well within her grasp. MAGICAL SEQUENCE (7) has trialled well coming into this and showed good ability in her debut campaign. Can go to another level this time in work. MOMENT IN THE SUN (2) can feature first-up.

Jumped at a huge quote at debut, 7th of 14 at Pinjarra 3yo Mdn on May 22 over 1000m, 4 len behind Order Online with 54.5kg at $151. Better for that experience but may need more time.

Racing well. Most recently led but faded 2nd of 11 at Albany Mdn on May 16 over 1230m, 1.4 len behind Four Seas carrying 55.5kg at $3.30. The run before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 11 at Albany Mdn on May 8 over 1000m, slow going 1.3 len behind I'm That Girl carrying 52.5kg at $4.20. Overdue and gets her chance.

First starter by Long Leaf out of Peppi's Pride. Has a total of two trials prior to her debut today. Trial form has been pretty ordinary and would be tempted to give her this first start.
