Bunbury Race 2 - Melbourne Cup Day At Bunbury On Sale Now Hcp (C1)
Impossible to go past TAG TIME (3), who scored an impressive 11-length maiden win over 1300m at Northam in heavy ground last time. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Leading hoop stays aboard and can go right on with the job now. ALL THE STARS (2) recorded his first win last start over 1200m at Belmont Park, getting home by 0.8 lengths. Has upside and expect another forward showing. EYE OF THE SUN (6) returned from a break last start and drifted well back before closing powerfully to score over 1200m at Belmont Park, getting home by 0.7 lengths. In form and will be running on hard again. RUTHLESS ANGEL (4) was fourth at Belmont Park fresh and strips fitter. Can sneak into the finish.
