16:10 Perth Tips — Wednesday 22nd April 2026

A cracking Hurdle contest awaits us at Perth, and our attention is firmly drawn to Mickey Bowen’s talented charge, Flying Fortune (EVS), in the 16:10. This horse boasts an official rating of 122, making him the undisputed top-rated runner in the field – a significant advantage in a race of this nature and a crucial trend to consider.

Under Sean Bowen, Flying Fortune's form tells a story of genuine class and consistency. While recent runs (4th, 9th) might not immediately impress, the key trend highlights his reliability, having notably placed in three of his last five outings. This level of consistency is exactly what we look for, especially from a horse with such a strong back catalogue of winning performances.

His clear superiority on ratings and proven ability makes him the one to beat. We’re expecting a dominant display here. For an excellent each-way alternative, stablemate Atlantic City makes plenty of appeal and should be firmly in contention. However, it's Flying Fortune who looks the clear pick to land the spoils.
