AU - Mingenew - Race 2

PRINCIPAL DEALER (7) sets the benchmark after a Broome second, beaten half a length, and the prior fourth there also had merit at long odds. The 18-start maiden record and wide draw keep the price honest, but she brings the clearest recent closing form. ANY QUESTIONS (1) is the main threat, race-fit and coming off a Carnarvon fourth over 5f where he closed hard from a hopeless position. The rise to 6f is the test, though the 9lbs claim helps. RAYLANA (8) resumes for Kym Tilka after provincial runs at Kalgoorlie and Northam, and the class drop plus her distance rating make her dangerous despite plain recent finishes. AL'S GAL (10) returns after missing by a nose over 7f at Carnarvon, she is lightly raced and progressive, but coming back to 6f is the obvious query.
