Perth Race 1 - Scone Palace Jousting Tournament Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
TRIGG (2) Won by a big margin of 8L last start in a hurdle at Uttoxeter and good career start. Has run into the placings all attempts this campaign. Suited and is a clear standout selection. FLYING ACE (1) Found another gear when winning by 5L last start in a hurdle at Cartmel. Sean Bowen and Gordon Elliott make a formidable team. Capable of taking this out. KIBRIS (3) Solid win by 1 1/4L last time in a hurdle at Perth. Has early speed and positions nicely. Looks a great place bet. SAINT CUNNING (4) Came in 5th last start at this venue but was a debutant last start. Racing for a new trainer. Don't leave out of trifectas and watch market moves closely.

Made no mistakes when winning by a margin of 5L last start in a hurdle at Cartmel. Sean Bowen and Gordon Elliott must be respected when they team up. Strong chance today.

Left nothing to chance when winning by 1 1/4L last time in a hurdle at Perth. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Serious contender.

Jumped at $6.00 and came in 5th last start here but was on debut last time. First start for a new trainer. Long shot.
