Bunbury Tips November 12

Hyoketsu Summer Series On Sale Maiden Tips (Race 4)

Bunbury Value Bet - Race 4 No. 4 Bragging Rights

With Blindfolded already very short in the market and likely to start deep as an odds-on elect, there is some appeal in looking for an each-way alternative, and the resuming Bragging Rights appears to be slipping under the radar.

There was enough to like about his debut at Albany on January 29, where he was very raw after settling back from an inside draw and hitting a flat spot before finishing strongly for seventh-of-14, while an unconventional rise to 2100m at Belmont at start two resulted in a third placing.

The form through the quinella of that Belmont event has held up reasonably well, including winner Pressurised, who subsequently moved to Melbourne and scored at Sandown earlier this season.

His October trial work was also encouraging, improving on a third-of-ten finish at Lark Hill on October 5 to catch the eye when narrowly beaten by Broda on on October 19, with that galloper subsequently landing the cash for us in stylish fashion at Belmont on Wednesday.

Whether Bragging Rights is quite sharp enough over 1400m remains to be seen, but his latest trial was quite good, and with Chanel Cooper claiming from barrier one, there is enough upside from that first campaign to suggest he is capable of making his presence felt at a big price.

Bunbury Best Bet - Race 6 No. 2 Uxorious

A wide barrier presents an obvious challenge for Uxorious, although the son of Gingerbread Man demonstrated good tactical versatility and considerable ability during his first preparation, suggesting he has the tools to overcome an awkward draw.

An eye-catching third on debut over 1100m at Northam was followed by a dominant front-running maiden victory over 1300m at Pinjarra, where the talented Bosun was well held in second before subsequently winning his next three starts, including two at Belmont.

His failure as an odds-on favourite over 1400m on rain-affected ground at Bunbury on June 11 is forgivable, with the gelding potentially coming to the end of his first campaign at just his third career appearance.

There was plenty of encouragement in his November 2 trial at Lark Hill, making good ground and chasing strongly into second over 950m, which should provide a suitable platform for his return over six furlongs.

Brayden Gaerth maintains his association with Uxorious after developing a good rapport with the gelding during his first campaign, and for a galloper who looks capable of progressing well beyond provincial Class 1 company, $3+ is fair in early markets.

Bunbury Next Best Bet - Race 7 No. 6 Nature's Reckoning

There was plenty of merit in Nature's Reckoning's somewhat bizarre second-up performance at Northam on October 25, where she was respected in betting at around $6 before finishing just over a length from the winner despite racing keenly through the early and middle stages.

The mare also missed a stride at a crucial point and became unbalanced, adding further merit to the performance, while two subsequent winners have already emerged from that Class 3 event.

Her previous effort was an encouraging third on resumption at Northam on October 15, recording the fastest final 600m of the meeting, and the relatively sharp rise from 1000m to 1300m on a ten-day turnaround was hardly a straightforward progression second-up.

A decent three-year-old campaign produced two victories and several attempts at Listed level, while she should strip fitter third-up and the addition of blinkers looks a positive move to sharpen her up.

Nature's Reckoning appeals at an each-way price with those factors in her favour, although Magali Magic is another worth including at longer odds following an encouraging return, having always displayed considerable raw talent, although she will need some luck.
