5:07 Perth
This Class 5 novices' limited handicap hurdle at Perth over 2m7f207y on good ground brings together a field of 12 where the KTB Fit ratings are tightly bunched at the top. The principals are headed by Seeyainthesuninn on a Fit score of 58, closely followed by Forest Spirit (56), Fairly Fulling (54), Les's Destiny Star (53) and Masterminding (49). With a lone-leader pace shape of high confidence, the race is set up to favour a horse that can settle comfortably and finish strongly against an uncontested front-runner.
How the race shapes up
The pace shape points to one clear front-runner enjoying an uncontested lead that will be difficult for closers to bridge in the latter stages. Magic Gloves is the only confirmed front-runner in the field and is likely to set a steady gallop from the outset. The majority of the principals, including Seeyainthesuninn, Forest Spirit, Fairly Fulling, Les's Destiny Star and Masterminding, are held-up or mid-division types who will be looking to produce their efforts late. The key question is whether any of the closers possess the necessary stamina and finishing kick to reel in the leader over this extended trip.
The KTB Fit ranking
-
1Seeyainthesuninn KTB Selection58/100
Seeyainthesuninn arrives with a KTB Fit score of 58 and is the clear selection. This useful performer has already shown his liking for Perth with a placed effort at the track and possesses a solid record on good ground with two wins from ten starts. He drops back in trip today having looked stretched over further last time out, which should suit. Trainer Micky Hammond brings a 16% strike rate at Perth from 394 runs and a trainer-jockey record of 9/88 (10%) with an A/E of 1.18. Jockey Alice Stevens is 0% from five rides at the course, yet the overall profile aligns well with the race conditions. His recent form of 3-P141 underlines progressive signs and course placings of third and fifth confirm his suitability to the venue.
-
2Forest Spirit56/100
Forest Spirit is rated 56 on the KTB Fit scale and represents a fair performer who has been consistent of late with placed efforts on his last three starts from recent form figures of -27432. Trainer Mickey Bowen holds a strong 30% strike rate at Perth from 33 runs while jockey James Bowen is 26% from 109 rides at the track, giving the combination a trainer-jockey record of 28/162 (17%) with an A/E of 0.77. He steps up in trip today for the first time which asks a fresh question while he remains winless on good ground from ten attempts, though he has been placed twice from those runs. Run-style is held up with high confidence and he will be looking to come from off the pace against the likely lone leader. No course form on record adds a slight unknown.
-
3Fairly Fulling54/100
Fairly Fulling carries a KTB Fit of 54 and is an eight-year-old useful performer who has already won over this course from one win in two runs here. Recent form of 41-P41 is patchy but includes two wins in the last four starts. He steps up in trip today which remains an unknown while the trainer Susan Corbett maintains a respectable 12% strike rate at Perth from 116 runs. Jockey Nathan Moscrop is 9% from 117 rides at the venue and the pair hold a trainer-jockey record of 33/251 (13%) with an A/E of 1.17. Run-style is held up with high confidence and he has one win from ten starts on good ground. The course record gives him a clear foothold in the race.
-
4Les's Destiny Star53/100
Les's Destiny Star is assessed at 53 on the KTB Fit and is a fair performer who has been out of form this season with two pulled-ups and a modest sixth last time from recent figures of 43-PP6. He steps up in trip having been placed without winning at this distance while the good ground looks suitable on his record of one win from five starts. Trainer Ewan Whillans holds a solid 10% strike-rate at Perth from 68 runs and jockey Callum Bewley is 7% from 247 rides at the track, combining for a trainer-jockey record of 5/82 (6%) with an A/E of 0.65. Run-style is held up with high confidence and he will need to bounce back from recent efforts to figure.
-
5Masterminding49/100
Masterminding has a KTB Fit of 49 and is a fair performer who has been consistent this year with three placed efforts from his last four starts from recent form of 6-2324. He has course experience here but could only finish fifth on his sole visit and is now dropping back in trip to 2m7f for the first time having last run over further. Trainer James Moffatt operates at a 9% strike rate from 107 runs at Perth while jockey Leah Noreci (7lb claimer) has limited data at the track from three rides. Run-style is held up with high confidence and he has been placed three times from twelve starts on good ground. The balance of his consistency and trip adjustment will be interesting.
-
6Magic Gloves48/100
Magic Gloves is a fair performer who has shown some spark on his last two starts, finishing second here over this trip on his most recent outing. He has placed once from three runs at Perth but has been well held on his other visits to the track and the yard's modest 8% strike rate at the course adds a note of caution. Run-style is front-runner with medium confidence.
-
7Autumn Getaway47/100
Autumn Getaway is a modest performer who has shown little in five runs to date and was well held again when fifth last time. The yard has a solid 15% strike rate at Perth from 34 runs. Stepping up markedly in trip today asks a fresh question of a horse whose going preferences remain unclear from such a light career. He drops in class.
-
8Anamanda46/100
Anamanda is a fair performer who has been competitive at this trip without winning. He has shown only modest form in two runs here and the yard's modest strike rate at Perth adds little encouragement. Placed once from three starts on good ground but lacks a recent win.
-
9C'Mon So46/100
C'Mon So is a fair performer who has shown consistent placed form at Perth without winning, including a third and fourth here over similar distances. He has handled good ground competitively and is proven at this trip, though his overall strike-rate remains modest from eight career runs. The yard's 8% record at the track from a big sample adds a note of caution.
-
10Judicial Review44/100
Judicial Review is a modest performer who has been largely out of form this year with a string of placed efforts but no win since 2022. He steps up in trip today having looked stretched at 2m5f last time and his sole previous try at this distance brought no joy. Trainer has a solid 9% strike rate from 107 runs at Perth.
-
11Luckie Devil39/100
Luckie Devil is a modest performer who has struggled badly since finishing fourth on debut, pulling up on his next three starts and finishing last of nine over 2m here last time. He steps up markedly in trip today which asks a fresh question. He drops in class and Nicky Richards has a solid 15% strike-rate at Perth from a big sample.
-
12Fortunes Dawn39/100
Fortunes Dawn is a fair performer who has shown some ability here without winning, finishing third and fourth from two runs at Perth. He drops back in trip today having last run over further and with only one previous attempt at this distance. Trainer's modest 4% strike rate from 118 runs at the track suggests limited upside.
KTB verdict
Seeyainthesuninn stands out as the KTB Selection with a Fit score of 58. He has already shown his liking for this track with a placed effort, possesses a solid record on good ground and drops back in trip having looked stretched over further last time. These factors align neatly with the lone-leader pace shape that should allow his mid-division run-style to be deployed to best effect. The main dangers are Forest Spirit, who brings strong Perth trainer and jockey figures along with recent consistency, and Fairly Fulling, who has already won over this course and possesses the best course record in the field. Les's Destiny Star and Masterminding complete the principals and cannot be ruled out if the race falls their way.
