Bunbury hosts a seven-race midweek program on Wednesday, January 21, featuring a mix of maidens and handicaps that shape as competitive betting contests across the card, with several runners either resuming or stepping up in grade.

Cuprum Distillery Maiden Tips (Race 2)

Bunbury Next Best Bet - Race 2 No. 11 Midnight Star

The jockey and trainer combination of Clint Johnston-Porter and Michael Grantham is a strong one, with the pair having recorded 71 winners over the last 12 months at a strike-rate of 29.6%.

They team up with the resuming Midnight Star, who was competitive in all runs over her first preparation.

That campaign included an eye-catching debut fourth in a handy maiden when overcoming some trouble.

Three placings followed that first outing, including a runner-up finish to Decision Maker, who was a Saturday metropolitan winner early this season.

Both trials leading into this return have been solid, and an each-way quote is available.

Bunbury Best Bet - Race 6 No. 7 Elvira Star

It has been a decent start to the year for veteran hoop Shaun O’Donnell, with seven winners and eight placegetters from 35 rides in January.

He stays aboard Elvira Star, a mare who saluted first-up at Bunbury last month.

Runner-up in that event was Morf, who was second to the smart Western Ace at Ascot on January 10.

At long odds on January 1, her second-up effort was respectable when finishing fifth-of-nine at Ascot, with the third franking that form last Saturday and the fourth-placed runner also placing on that metropolitan program.

The 1400m is unknown territory, but the four-year-old has upside and a soft draw in what is a much weaker race.

Bunbury Value Bet - Race 7 No. 2 Net Zero

Net Zero showed potential as a late three-year-old with a big maiden success over this track-and-trip.

He then placed in three of his next outings in town, including a third in the Listed Melvista Stakes.

The gelding did not fire a shot over November and December this campaign.

A five-week space led into his stable debut for Cliff Green on January 11, which was a more encouraging display as he did his best work late without threatening.

The rise in distance and stripping fitter are positives on Wednesday in what looks a thin lineup.
