AU - Bunbury - Race 3

JESA LUPA (6) stuck on well over this track and trip last time out and now gets Pike in the saddle replacing the apprentice hoop. He looks a gelding on the way up this campaign. He's ticking along nicely and this presents as a very suitable race on his recent figures. Can get the job done this time. YANKEE ACE (5) got well back here last time out and disappointed following a strong run two starts back. A better draw this time may see him closer in the run and he rates highly on the first two runs this campaign. Can make amends for a disappointing effort last time out. SOVEREIGN SALUTE (8) finished off nicely as a 30-1 pop here over 6f on debut. He showed some tactical speed there too which looks ideal as he stretches to 7f today. Faithfull sticks and he can be in the finish once again. LUNA BALLET (10) just missed when sitting on the speed here last time out and has to be included on the back of that effort. PROFOUND BENEFIT (1) is next best from an inside barrier.
