Spanish Kat is expected to cross from a wide draw and lead. Time for the Mingenew Cup now and BLAZING TYCOON (3) finds a very suitable race today. He's been racing in stronger company than this and comes through a strong form race at Belmont last time out. He's likely to get back in the run but his figures stack up and he can turn his form around. BAYHARA (7) was no match in the Cup here last week when beaten 11 lengths, though his form at this level prior was very good. Winkers go back on now and he's expected to return to his best form. BUTTERFLYROCK (2) beat home Bayhara in the Geraldton Cup, but had been bridesmaid to him in the two runs prior. She meets him worse at the weights today, but ZJP's claim comes in handy and she's 2/2 at the track and trip. Has to be considered. BOMBAY STYLE (1) can make his own luck up on the speed and will take catching if he runs up to recent figures. SPANISH KAT (11) has a good figure attached from his recent efforts and he's not to be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Blazing Tycoon finds his race.
