Marble Bar Race 5

Newmont Marble Bar Cup (Bm64+)

Stake: $32,700

KUTAYHA (4) was second in this race last year and is heading toward some good form again after a solid run for fourth at Port Hedland a fortnight ago. He doesn't win often but from a good draw and with 3-kilos less to carry, he could break through for an overdue victory. WHIM CREEK (2) won this race last year and will be peaking at the right time again after 2 runs back from a spell. He has to carry 2.5 kilos more than he did when winning 12 months ago but is up to the task. MONEY FOR OLD ROPE (5) came with a well-timed run to score at Roebourne nearly 4 weeks ago and drops 2.5 kilos in weight for this assignment. He can mix his form but on his best day, he can take this out. GRECE LIGHTNING (6) is racing consistently and has a handy record over a mile. He can make full use of the pole position and is weighted to win.

Useful gelding. Most recently won by a long-neck at Roebourne Rtg 56+ June 9 over 1406m defeating Zeewijk carrying 58.5kg at $4. The run before that raced behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 8 at Geraldton Rtg 58+ on May 10 over 1627m, 6 len behind Sly As A Fox carrying 57.5kg at $5. Genuine hope on best form.

Most recently came from midfield and won by 1.75 len at Kalgoorlie Cl2 June 16 over 1760m on a rain affected track defeating Let The Dust Fly carrying 59.5kg at $10. The race before that 7th of 16 at Pinjarra Cl3 on June 6 over 1400m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Makin Prophets with 55.5kg at $51. Big chance to go back-to-back.
