The main issue for those who have watched racing from Perth on television is the length of the run-in after the last fence; it does seem to go on forever, and results can change in the last 100 yards.
Plus, the camera angle can be a little deceptive, so be cautious if betting in running on the exchanges, punters have been warned!
