PATSYS CASTLE has a double penalty to carry but should complete the hat-trick as he readily outpaced market rival I C Gold at Perth eight days ago. A P McCoy rides Cut The Corner on his first start for Richard Newland. He should win races but may need time to acclimatise. Blurred Lines will appreciate the step up in trip having already won a point-to-point but Spruzzo looks up against it as he's gone backwards this year.
