(3) The Notorious One was a moral beat last start when blocked for half the straight before getting clear and charging home into 3^rd. His win prior to that was very good and it seems he’s returned from the nine-week break in terrific form. Jockey change today with Clint Johnston-Porter taking back the ride from Brad Parnham. Draws a tricky gate again in barrier 9, so he’s likely to be back again, but if he shows up in the same form he’s going to be very hard to beat.

(4) Skinnen Tins steps up in grade after a much-deserved win here last start. He’s had no luck in several starts this prep but was given a sweet steer by Brad Rawiller last start and he was able to break through. He was competitive in this sort of grade earlier in the prep so with another good run, he’s not hopeless of going back-to-back.

(10) Double Spice and (6) Giant Leap next best, both draw well.

Tip: (3) The Notorious One $3.00 Bet365

Value: (4) Skinnen Tins $19 TopSport

Betting Strategy: 1 unit WIN The Notorious One, 0.25 units WIN Skinnen Tins

If the real (3) Too Close The Sun turns up, this could be over. Forget the prep in Melbourne last time when he raced in top level races. Returns to Perth now and gets ideal track conditions with soft ground. He’s undefeated from four starts on wet tracks. Comes into this first up without a public trial which would normally be some query but this stable will have him fit enough.

(10) Red Publisher can be thrown in at big odds.

Tip: (3) Too Close The Sun $2.90 Ladbrokes

Betting Strategy: 1.5 units WIN Too Close The Sun

Tim Geers

A trip to Hong Kong quickly had Tim hooked to the racing caper, maintaining the best place anywhere in the world on a Wednesday night is Happy Valley. He holds a strong interest in the Hong Kong form, along with the metropolitan racing in Sydney and Melbourne. He’s a fan of dry tracks, Zac Purton and takes particular interest in identifying patterns in the form. Tim wears many hats, juggling the roles of form analyst, jockey manager and racehorse owner.
