Bunbury Race 2 - Cuprum Distillery South West Stormy Mdn
Tricky and the betting will be instructive. SOVEREIGN CRUST (11) debuts for the leading metro stable, and Pike's engagement is a decent push for his chances. Has trialled twice, and the filly sits at the bottom of the handicap. Has an awkward barrier, but a bold run is likely. HOLD MY WINE (4) was expected to win at Belmont first-up, but settled back and finished 2.9L adrift. Pike is off, and a 2kg apprentice takes the mount. He must be pleasing and did show plenty when she debuted late last year. ELVIRA STAR (7) resumes in easier and has shown enough to suggest she's a chance. Maps well and has a Lark Hill trial under the saddle. FINDOUT (2) resumes off a long break but just missed in a recent Lark Hill trial. It's an ask, but she should be around the mark in this line-up.

Second run back. Comes off a 44-day let-up. First-up after three months ran last of 9 at this track Cl1 C&G on November 4 over 1200m, 10 len behind Skytalker with 58kg at $61. Previously second-up ran last of 8 at Pinjarra Scarpside Cl1 on May 28 over 1000m, 5 len behind Magnique carrying 57.5kg at $101. Looks a fair way off peak form so others are preferred.
