Mt Magnet Race 6 - Austin Metals Mount Magnet Cup (Bm62+)
SOLO VEGA (6) looks the runner with the most appealing current profile after closing strongly for second in a 3yo+ Class 1 over 1675m at Bunbury, beaten just over a length, and she now gets an easier country assignment with only 55kg. The extra ground to 1800m is the one clear test, but her last two efforts read well for this. ANOTHER NEPHEW (1) brings winning form after taking a 3yo+ Benchmark 56+ at Carnarvon, and the fact he did it while racing wide adds merit, though this is a deeper task. GOT LUCKY (2) has been plain at Belmont Park, yet his Mt Magnet record gives him a genuine chance to improve back in this setting. MYSTICAL MAN (3) was well beaten by Back To Bondi last start, but his dominant Mt Newman win two back keeps him in the wider mix if he rebounds quickly.

Backs up from a tough Carnarvon win in a 3yo+ Benchmark 56+, where he was near the top of betting, raced wide throughout and still beat Fries With That by just over half a length. His previous fourth in a 3yo+ Open over 2100m at Mt Newman was sound enough, and one win and one placing from two tries at 1800m reads well. The 1800m record helps, but the rise in grade asks more.

Eases back from mid-week 3yo+ NMW1Y company after finishing second last at Belmont Park, beaten six and a half lengths at long odds. His prior ninth on soft ground there was no better, with no late impression after settling well back. The counter is genuine: he is a Mt Magnet winner and is flagged as a track-and-trip winner. Recent form is the obvious query.

Drops from mid-week 3yo+ NMW1Y grade after finishing last behind Back To Bondi at Belmont Park, beaten over 11 lengths and unwanted in the market. There was some restraint noted by stewards, but he still failed to make ground. Two back he thrashed Torqued Up in a 3yo+ Benchmark 56+ at Mt Newman.

Eases sharply from Saturday 3yo+ Benchmark 66+ company, but the latest run was a heavy defeat, finishing last behind Searchin' Times at Belmont Park and beaten over 15 lengths on soft ground. The run prior in a 2yo+ NMW1Y at Bunbury was also plain when second last. Needs the longer trip to spark a sharp turnaround.

Worked home evenly for second in a 3yo+ Maiden at Junction last start, beaten a length after being near the top of betting. That was better than her prior seventh in a 3yo+ Benchmark 56+ at Carnarvon, but the broader record is the issue: no wins from 38 starts and unplaced in four goes at 1800m. Others appeal more.

Comes through a provincial 3yo+ Class 1 at Bunbury, where she finished strongly for second to The Scholar and was beaten just over a length after being respected in betting. She had earlier made solid inroads from well back for fourth in another 3yo+ Class 1 at Belmont Park on soft ground. First try at 1800m is the main test, but she rates highly.
