Perth Race 2 - Auto Services Volkswagen Commercial Aftersales Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
Irish raider COSMOS D'AINAY (1) won by 11L tackling 3500m at Cork on latest appearance after taking the lead before two out and drawing clear. Convincing hurdle success gives him leading claims. PUPPET MASTER (2) scored by 0.5L over 3200m at Kilbeggan most recently after moving into second beyond two out and leading on the run-in. Main danger. DATSTHEHOLYALLOFIT (4) finished 3.25L third contesting 4000m at Sedgefield following a 0.75L second trying 3200m at Worcester on hurdle debut. Makes appeal. LUNA GRACE (5) finished 5.5L third attempting 3300m at Kelso when last seen and has now filled that position on all five career starts. Consistent profile and not discounted.
