I'll get a discussion going on this years Bunbury Cup Its only 6 or 7 weeks away. Don't get scared, chuck up your selections everyone.
I really wish there was an early Market open on this Race. I would be backing this horse confidently to win it.
I have really rated this horse from when it came back after its first campaign( Ran a nice 4th to Bushfire Blonde ). It has gone from Strength to Strength each start And I Feel is now a genuine Bunbury Cup horse and if it goes on, can win next years Perth Cup. If it improves out of site might be able to race in in the lower tier staying races in Melbourne. The trainer is not afraid to take them East either, if they are good enough.
Jackpot Prince.

Last years Bunbury Cup winner Material Man and of course his kryptonite arch rival Pounamu.
Not sure if they’re nominated?
In summary Material Man and Pounamu in 7kgs light and many of the others carrying 6kg too much. That's about a 13kg swing than what it would have been in 1987.
Am taking a bit of poetic licence there, only a slight exaggeration though - and top weights, especially above average types that come along like Material Man and Pounamu, in the long distance 'minor' Cup races ( not so much the big Group Ones ) dominate the winners circle in years to come.
We shall see.

Sometimes that change of mind can be a curse or a blessing. But what can mean most of all is am still bloody uncertain.
Always a great race the Bunbury Cup they tried to lift its profile quite a few years ago, upped the stakemoney and have a feeling an eastern states runner or two may have ran in it, perhaps slipped back a little but so have most staying races Australia wide.
Material Man he was gutsy last year to win it. Will be keeping an eye on this Jackpot Prince can sense there's an air of confidence about him.
Not on today run Riders, Gee that was disappointing. But that's racing.
