Star Contenders Emerge

Megunga Tully leads the pack, basking in the glow of being the likely favorite. Her impressive performance at the Australian Cup marks her as a formidable opponent.

From jaw-dropping heat wins to stunning speed displays, each contender tells a thrilling tale of potential triumph.

The Forge of Opportunity

The race’s unique grid promises heart-pounding action and strategic maneuvers. Boracay Storm, emerging as the fastest qualifier, is prepared to thread a needle through a challenging path. Meanwhile, Rare Speed has rocketed to the forefront with her powerful strides, transforming every trap into a potential plot twist. Amidst this fierce competition, Miss Envy returns with renewed vigor, aiming to capitalize on Rare Speed’s potential lead disruption.

Saturday’s excitement extends beyond the Perth Cup. The Group 1 Galaxy (715m) features Ethanol Water, a standout with two G1 titles. Her battle with Flaws and Sins reminds us that no contender is invincible. In the same breath, Groovebird’s and Black Silencer’s heat clashes add layers to the narratives being woven.
