Interdominion heat night 2 Bunbury

Took a week off from the internet world after doing a heap of do and making some silly comments, back now and refreshed. Really enjoyed the Friday night of racing, can't wait for the final to see how a race pans out at GP when the pace is going to have to be on the way as chances drawn poorly look to put themselves into the race.
Here are my thoughts for Tuesday night.
R1: No1 Bounty Eyre looks the likely leader and short priced favourite and to be unders IMO. I fancy the stablemate No7 Ohoka Squire to get up outside him early and to out stay him. He returned to form Saturday and this is a massive class drop on his prior races.
R2: A no bet race for me but should be well worth a look. 1 Jaxon Fella will want to hold up but there are a few outside him who you would think would want to at least have a look. Ti Amo Franco isn’t racing at its best, I think its best would have it leading and winning but I thought it would do that a couple back and got nowhere near crossing. Soho Lenon has flown the start at times, probably not likely to try with who has drawn under him. The more I look at it the more I think Jaxon Fella may just get an easy lead and be able to steal it. Smokey is doing his own interdominion, if they do go hard early obviously on his turf he’ll be hard to beat. 10 Rocky Marciano is probably the only horse that could tempt me to have a bet if he is longish odds, should get a lovely run through and can sprint well of the soft trip, stable going well. Phoenix Warrior potentially the best horse in the race, it’s very open!
R3: I think the race works out perfectly for No2 My Hard Copy. For Me Franco Ledger isn’t going anywhere near as good as he can. He was help up early Friday but when he did get clear Crusader Banner sprinted away from him. Mach Beauty obviously looks like he’ll attack Franco for the lead, with no sprint lane it should make it interesting. Franco Ledger doesn’t have electric gate speed but does have some, still you would think Mach Beauty will be in front. I think My Hard Copy will either be sitting 1,1 or 1,2 with Billies A Star and Bettors Fire the horses likely to be in front of him in the moving line. I don’t see anyone pocketing him so he can run all over the top of them whenever he likes. I didn’t mind the run of 6 Major Crocker on the first night and with the field he has hit and the form they appear to be in I think he can run on from the back and be in the money, good novelties available playing around No2 My Hard Copy the win anchoring No6 Major Crocker somewhere in the placings.
R4: Call me nuts but I think this might be the race for No5 Scuba Steve. I think he can cross them and with the light weight of Jones in the cart just keep on rolling. Basically every runner is some chance if things unfold well for them.
R5: This is a pretty strong heat. With 9 Waylade being drawn directly behind the stable mate 1 Northview Punter you would think Northview Punter will be looking to hold up. Being a Tritton horse you would expect 2 Easy On The Eye will be shooting for the top. If Lennytheshark was mine I’d be grabbing hold of him immediately, I think there is going to be a speed battle and Lenny is some danger of being 3 deep for a fair while from 3 with 10 Jason Rulz likely to push up hard from the back row. Just on the thinking that they are going to nuts early I’m going to have something the place No5 Libertybelle Midfrew, she went fine in her heat without being able to be extended. She will definitely grab hold early and will be flashing past tired runners late, hopefully there’s enough tired runners!
R6: You can call me nuts again but I think No1 Dynamite Dude is a fantastic chance. Hadn’t had a good look before but he is a magnificent horse to look at. Ran last Friday but really that could be a blessing as it was really nothing more than track work. Known more as a stand horse but I went back and had a look at his form and he had started from 1 before and led comfortably with some good beginners outside him. He’ll have options but I’m wanting him to go for an all the way win. As much as 60/1 has been available. Devendra anywhere from $1.55 to $2.35 available seems massive unders for me, I liked it Friday and was lucky enough to get $11. Liked how it went but that was a far more suitable race. Really liked how the two Hall horses in this race went in their heats, likely to be a lot of front end speed in this so they can both run on at the big odds. Philadelphia Man also likely to be suited by a fast tempo but with points on the board already I expect him to just poke up along the fence so will need a bit of luck. A boilover race for me between the 1,5&6.
R7: All over No1 Glow Bright in this. He is a really capable horse on his night and has shown in his last two that he isn’t far away from his top. There is some early speed outside of him in Courage Tells but I don’t think holding up will be a problem, He’s not winning a lot but I think Morgan Woodley is actually driving in fantastic form at the moment. Out front and dictating I just think he’s going to be running home in a time the others are going to find too hard to get over.
R8: I’m going to back Morgan in to finish off with a double. No1 Twelve Bells runs infinitely better for him than his trainer. He’ll be leading throughout. Think Time Passenger can follow him through and run 2nd.

I was told that the decision not to use the sprint lane at Bunbury was to maintain the consistency of racing with no sprint lane at GP for the other two sets of heats and the Final.

I think Lenny will try to utilise gate 3 and have a go for the front but Easy On The Eye will probably lead, Lenny to breeze early and look for a trail, NP may get a soft run but he will need it.

That was just plain dumb.
Going to be really interesting seeing the pref draw and how it falls. Really hope Libertybelle draws an easy heat, think she is flying.
Even saw the great man Danny Miller there!
The locals supported the night really well, thumbs up all round.

Ian Gurney is a good laugh. In one of the pre race interviews he was asked about the prep for Our Hi Jinx. He says "Aw mate. I just watch Dave Aiken and copy what he does. Have you seen Lenny?"
How big a motor does Devendra have to still run 5th after that ridiculous first quarter. For A Reason looks like he has his mind on other things (as an entire he probably does). Phil Man was showing off. Lenny was great. Class drive from C Hall on My Hard Copy (has anyone clocked his last quarter? Must have been smoking). I might make a second income backing Flaming Flutter for a place. So honest.
Track played great and excellent to see top class racing get taken to country WA.
Can we do this every Tuesday?
