8:30 Perth Tips

The yard seemed to have found the key to Larkfield Lusive last time. He joined just over a year ago and, following racing over various trips and ground, went as close as he's been a month ago. Still only 6 years old, and connections will get more from him yet. This race looks like a winning opportunity.

BEAT THE RETREAT has won two hurdle races at 2m 2f and 2m 4f. Fifth in a hurdle race over 3m at Perth on his latest outing last month. Dropped in trip to 2m 4f should suit. Seems well treated and could well be able to win this race.

MILLYUPDAHILLY drops considerably in class following a fair effort in a much deeper handicap latest. She is race-sharp with potential to be seen to much better effect in this company , and not yet fully exposed under this code in Britain with this trainer having recorded multiple wins at this venue she should be heavily involved.

PRINCE NINO is back to a workable mark and has previous course form so maybe he reverses the slide in form before too long. Lighter in the weights than when placing here last September and could get involved if the return here helps. Claimer takes further weight off and he's dangerous to rule out too readily.

Back from a break having last run in mid December. Vastly experienced, has won four times here at Perth, and conditions could be good here.
