16:40 Perth — Race Preview & Tips

Shadowfax Of Rohan is our selection for the 16:40 16:40 Perth at Perth, a Hurdle contest on Good ground.

The form figures of 53-79P121 include a victory that confirms this one is in good heart.

Rated 86, the handicapper may have left a bit in hand.

Beat The Retreat is the each-way option — a solid claim for a frame finish.
