Race preview
SPANGLED MAC didn't taste competitive action until towards the end of May but he is on a steep upward curve, winning five of his seven starts, including his last four. He is worth sticking with until beaten but faces his acid test in this and there is no shortage of dangers, with Open Mind and Danzan both shaping like imminent winners of late. Il Bandito found the Bunbury Cup too hot to handle, but was in fine fettle prior to it.
