Perth Race 1 - Scone Palace Jousting Tournament Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
TRIGG (2) is yet to miss top-two. Represents a leading jockey and trainer combination. Secured an impressive 8L victory making hurdle debut in a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter last month and rates a leading contender. KIBRIS (3) shed the maiden jumping tag on most recent appearance winning a maiden hurdle at this venue scoring by 1.25L. May gain a double. FLYING ACE (1) made it third time lucky under rules producing a first career triumph attempting a Carlisle maiden hurdle winning by 5L eleven days ago. SAINT CUNNING (4) cannot be discounted representing a new trainer and might have an impact providing first hurdle start.

Facing the starter for the third time today. When unwanted in the market at debut, ran last at Ayr on April 18 over 3200m, on a wet track; 75 len behind Skerry Hill carrying 67.5kg at $81. Last start finished seventh of 8 runners at this track on May 14 over 3200m, 56 len behind Hold The Throw carrying 68kg at $126. Hard to have on recent performances.

Is third-up today and making a debut in a jumps race. Last start finished seventh of 11 starters at this track on April 24 over 3200m, 15 len behind Fiskardo carrying 66.5kg at $67 and before that finished fifth of 7 runners at Sedgefield on April 1 over 3400m, 18 len behind Connells Cross with 66kg at $41. This looks a stern test.
