4:10 Perth Tips

Out of her depth in a Listed race at Kelso last time out but was in good form prior to that. Will be better suited dropping back into handicap company here.

Spit Spot is the selection in what looks a fairly weak race and could be well placed to bounce back. Her recent runs haven’t been inspiring, finishing well beaten after a break at Haydock and again last time in a Class 2 handicap hurdle over 3 miles. However, that race wasn’t particularly strong for the grade, and she now drops back into calmer waters. The key to her chance is her excellent course record at Perth, with figures of 33311, highlighting how well she performs at this track. Her latest win here came over 3 miles on soft, making all off 110, and she has also won over today’s trip of 2 miles 4 furlongs ??' a definite positive. Patrick Wadge returns to the saddle and has a strong record on her, which is another boost. First-time cheekpieces could also help sharpen her up after a couple of below-par efforts. Now off 111, just 1 lb above her last winning mark, and back at a favoured venue, she looks to have a solid opportunity to get back to winning ways.

Three-times hurdles winner whose last win came in November. Has placed in 2 of 5 starts since and holds an each-way chance if in the same form.
