Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Ballintubber Boy is our selection at Perth, preferred here over the top-rated Secret Trix on a fitness edge rather than pure figures. Secret Trix, on 128 to our selection's 126, remains the chief danger, with Speed Davis and Spit Spot also to be considered, albeit some way further back on our figures. It's a Class 4 over three miles on good ground, and we hold a moderate level of confidence in Ballintubber Boy's claims.
