Best:
Race 6 No. 4 Essentric Nature
He wasn't able to progress in Victoria after saluting in a strong maiden, with the Ultra-owned and bred galloper now gelded ahead of his debut for the Williams yard.
A younger brother to Addictive Nature and Savvy Nature (both Group winners), Essentric Nature has worked well in two 950m trials ahead Thursday's return assignment.
The four-year-old won the last of those workouts, where he accounted for two recent winners and Bold Hero was among the January victors (bolted in last Saturday at Ascot).
Clint Johnston-Porter sticks for race day (striking at better than 23% for the Williams stable this season) and Essentric Nature has found a thin race for this fresh attempt.
Value:
Race 4 No. 12 Celebrity Skin
This maiden is no harder than the two events that she contested in her first campaign and the daughter of Sooboog should've finished closer in the first of those races.
That September 15 affair has produced four subsequent winners and after being held-up, Celebrity Skin was doing her best work late (fastest last 200m of the race).
She's been given time since a flat effort via her second appearance, where the filly was a notable late drifter in the market and the recent Belmont trial was sound.
Celebrity Skin is out of a Royal Academy mare won past ten furlongs, while she's also from the same family as Episode (dual Oaks winner), so 1400m looks a good starting point.
Market Mover:
Race 4 No. 5 Capable Angel
She's been backed late in all three runs this campaign and punters have stepped into the four-year-old in the early betting with Ladbrokes
Capable Angel is now fighting for favouritism, with $3.90 her quote (opened $8.50).
Stats Say:
Clint Johnston-Porter has ridden the most winners at Bunbury over the last 12 months and his 23 wins here in that period have come at a healthy strike-rate of 20.54%.
He's has six engagements on Thursday's meeting and five of his rides are currently $6 or less.
