Perth 17/05/07

2.35 ECHO POINT Boosts the best form in the race. Won a decent novice chase at this track last time out by 8 lengths from decent chaser Chief Yeoman who has had some decent efforts this season. The conditions of this race mean Echo Point get in here with extremly nice mark becuase if this was handicap he'll carry much more weight than his rivals which makes him very hard to beat here, I expect nice canter here and jumping practise. 4.10 THE ROYAL DUB Trainer had a winner yesterday at Perth. This horse catches the eye here, not run for 136 days and not even over fences for over a year, trainer usually places his horses in the right race and Ruby Walsh on board. This horse won at the course at last year as well. 4.45 BATCHELOR BOYS The jockey is positive in this race as she only jockey here without a claim and has ridden winners against the pro jockeys before. 2nd in this race last year beaten 3/4l against a horse who at the time was in great form. Drop back in trip is a big help as been struggling over long trips in points recently and should bounce back to form here in a race did well last year.

Reasoning	2:05 Pert Top Cloud Looks set for the hat trick and very unlikely that anyone can stop this top weight today. Won by more LTO and the jockey from then is on again today. G Lee had a good day yesterday with 2.2.1.1 finishes from 6 rides. The trainers 6 wins from 29 hurdlers here is a good sign. I think Top Cloud is ready and able to go on the same abilities from the last two.

Reasoning	2:35 Pert Echo Point Taking on competition Classed lower than the last 4 it raced against. The events from Class 3's will help today and should be hard to take on if the same as last time it raced (defetead Chief Yeoman by 8L at this track for a 2 mile race). The last race had Dobbin on and does so again today. The most experienced jockey at this track will be its guide and that helps. Also, the jockey has an overall 24.9% win here from over 200 overall races (Sportinglife)

Reasoning	3:05 Pert The Saltire Tiger Done some improvement this year with the distances behind the winner dropping from 23,22 1/2, 7 3/4, into 1 3/4. LTO was for the same distance needed to travel today. The last two was with the jockey it has today. The ground is the reason the price is where it is at and can't compalin from that. It's been mostly ran on firmer ground with just two from 10 starts having any Soft. The last time the ground had any soft was on 14Feb that resulted in a 6th of 11 finish. That race was a Class 3 that gained no support from the market with the SP being 125/1. It was not a bad effort considering the rivals that defeated it.

Reasoning	3:35 Pert Idarah Should not be opposed with the form coming into this being 3.2.1.2 since 18Oct. The last three was raced this year - 22Mar, 01Apr, and 27Apr (Only NH experience). Since it's done well for since joining its current yard I think it's capable of contninuing on its form of 2.1.2 with a drop from Class 3 LTO into 4 today. Going out from the same track it last raced on (2nd here on 27Apr). Get's to run the same distance in won from (won 2m at Hexham 01Apr).

Reasoning	4:10 Pert Trading Trouble Just have to pick this for its current streak of 3 wins that includes a win here LTO. There is a jockey change for the first time since 11Nov but it includes 7lb to claim. Ran to a 9 length victory here with as 9/4 jf with the other favorite being 2nd. Proven to be able to win around 3m and at this course.

Lightly raced, won maiden point in March and did well considering inexperience when third in 3m1f Hexham maiden hunter chase last time; likely to improve again and has to be considered. -RP Spotlight That 3rd had the top two and three from the betting ahead of it - 1st @ 11/2 & 2nd @ 4/1. Only 7 from 17 was able to finish (7/2f was PU).
