Bunbury Race 1

Cuprum Distillery Plate

Stake: $86,400

Good 2YO race and it's hard not to be impressed with what we saw from TWISTED STEEL (1) on debut. He'd trialled like a sharp horse coming in, but he put his rivals to the sword impressively at Northam. The wide draw adds an extra element, but Pike sticks and he can repeat the dose. GIRLS ON FIRE (5) showed enough in her debut campaign and wasn't beaten far in the Magic Millions at Pinjarra to end last campaign. Her trials coming into this have been strong and she looks to get her chance from a good gate. Looks set to go to another level now. SHERPA EXPRESS (3) has looked good at the trials coming into this and draws the inside on debut. Brad Parnham hasn't ridden him at the trials, though he hops on for his debut effort and it wouldn't surprise to see him right there at the finish. MALOLO (7) has claims with CJP in the saddle.

Claiming his maiden victory on debut; favourite; scored a big 4 len win at Northam 2yo Mdn June 25 over 1100m defeating Bradbury's Moment with 57kg at $1.90. Very impressive winner on debut and he can go on with the job.

Two-year-old gelding (Blue Point - Sherpa Lass). Daniel & Ben Pearce has him ready for this with three recent trials prior to his debut today. Ran 3rd in a trial at Belmont Park over 1000m on June 23. Shown enough at the trials to suggest he can run a cheeky race on debut.
