Perth Race 1 - Stonepack Mares' 'National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)
CELTIC ALLIANCE (8) represents a leading yard in Ireland. Will be aiming to remain unbeaten after getting off the mark at the first time of asking attempting a Clonmel maiden hurdle three weeks ago. Major player. DUNSY ROCK (1) is a stablemate to the top pick. Missed out on the placings when fourth on debut at Down Royal. Improved to win by 6L a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle. Can gain a double. VISCOUNTESS NELSON (7) finished runner-up on most recent appearance contesting a Plumpton maiden hurdle last month. May go one better. FRANKIES FORTUNE (4) disappointed slightly tackling a Carlisle maiden hurdle. Improvement expected.

Racing first-up today. Not seen since winning posted a big 6 len win. Fairyhouse February 3 over 3218m in the wet defeating Likealightswitch with 73kg at $3.30. First ever start ran 4 of 18 runners at Down Royal December 26 over 4023m, 10 len behind Sept Etoiles with 65.5kg at $67. Makes plenty of appeal.

Encouraging debut won by 2.75 len Clonmel on April 2 over 3218m on rain affected going defeating Mastertown Miss carrying 66kg at $8 in a hurdle. Open to further improvement and expected to go well.

Four-year-old filly who is first race starter by Jet Away out of Luna Lovegood. Tough assignment at her first outing so tempted to favour others.
