The marble has fallen beautifully for last year's winner MINSTREL (2). He had this same draw when winning the J P Stratton Cup last start, racing parked but proving too good by 3m. That was his third win from his last four outings and continued a long string of top-three finishes. He could dictate from this barrier so can make it back-to-back WA Cups. MAGNIFICENT STORM (8) is another that has won this race before and comes in with winning form, taking out last week's Navy Cup. That was his fifth win from his last eight starts and while drawn wide his class will carry him a long way. MISTER SMARTEE (12) came from this draw for second to Minstrel last start, continuing his highly consistent form. Nullarbor and Fremantle Cup winner who is very reliable and has won seven of 11 at this circuit and distance. GEE HEZA SPORT (4) has been racing consistently, placing in four of his last five starts. Placed in both the Nullarbor and the Fremantle Cup this year so could be competitive.
