Bunbury Race 6

Sky Racing Dash For Cash Ms Pace

Stake: $11,880

LINEBACKER (8) finished seventh last start, beaten 24 metres at Pinjarra over 2185m. Can travel in a nice spot from this draw and wait on the sprint lane if necessary. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. DEL BOCAVISTA BAY (1) has had two runs this campaign and is yet to finish in the top three. Added to the sequence last time over 2503m at Gloucester Park, finishing 21 metres away from the winner in sixth. Has the benefit of a good draw and he is capable of running a better race. RECOVER LOVER (5) is worth another chance after a last-start ninth over 1780m at Northam eight days ago. Can bounce back with any luck in running. MAJOR JAY (9) must be respected after scoring last start by a head at Narrogin over 1823m. Hard to ignore winning form.

Finished sixth at his last two starts since resuming from a spell. Last outing was beaten 21 metres behind Gee Smith at Gloucester Park over 2503m NR 70 or better on May 6. Should be at peak fitness now and can feature off the inside draw.

Last start 4th (10m Fr1) over 2503m after being wide early at Gloucester Park, beaten 19 m by Gee Smith (3:14.50) in NR 70 or better on May 6 at $12. At his previous start good run when 2nd (40m Fr1) over 2560m at Northam beaten 20 m by Brewery Lane (3:18.30) in NR up to 80 on May 2 at $6. Can play a role in the finish.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fifth after being driven well back, behind Feeling Empathy at Pinjarra over 1177m in a 4yo+ NR up to 45 on April 28 at $18. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second behind Cohlin at Pinjarra over 1177m in a 4yo+ NR up to 50 on May 5 at $12. Top chance in this line-up.

Gave plenty of ground last start when ninth after showing early speed, behind Sporting Grace at Northam over 1780m in a 4yo+ NR 45 to 55 M on May 2 at $5.50. Performed better the start before where she won by 3 m after showing early speed, (Fr2) at Pinjarra (1:24.20) beating Blockjorg in 4yo+ NR up to 45 on April 28 at $3.90. From a decent drawn is expected to do better this time.
