Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Cossack Chach No. 1
Derek Fox · Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore
✓ Trainer in form (4/15, 14 days) ✓ Back from a 116-day break
Cossack Chach is our selection at Perth, rated 118 and just three pounds behind the top-rated Netywell, but we prefer him on his progressive profile and a fitness edge that should count over this 20 furlongs on good to soft. The gap to Netywell is slim enough to overturn, and Cossack Chach looks the one still improving. Netywell is the chief danger on 121, while Bois Guillbert on the same figure of 118 and Ned Tanner on 117 are also firmly in the mix, so this is far from a straightforward task. Even so, Cossack Chach is the call.

Cossack Chach shaped well when third last time out, and he has a win to his name three starts back, while he has also run on today's going before. A 116-day break is the one reservation, but his overall profile makes him our pick, even carrying 169 lb.

Kado Sacree arrives a winner last time out and again two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going, but a 154-day layoff and 166 lb on his back temper the enthusiasm. Our rating ranks him fifth of nine, so he's more of a midfield proposition.

Netywell showed a return to form with a third last time out, and he has run on today's going before, while our rating of 121 ranks him top of nine. The risk is a 222-day absence plus 162 lb, with a fourth two starts back the only other top-four finish.

Bois Guillbert showed a fourth last time out and has run over today's trip and going, while our rating of 118 ranks him third of nine and sits above his official 111, so he looks a leading threat at 159 lb. The one concern is a 175-day absence, and he is winless in his last four.

Ned Tanner showed a return to form with a third last time out, and he has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 117 puts him fourth of nine. The main risk is a 154-day absence, carrying 158 lb, with two pulled-up efforts in his last five.

Follow Charlie won twice in his last five starts, but he was only fifth last time out after a third, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Carrying 157 lb off an official mark of 109, he looks a tough ask, and our figures rank him seventh of nine.

Berkenshtaaap won last time out and has run over today's trip and going, but he returns after 174 days off, carries 156 lb and is rated 105 by us, ninth of nine, which makes him hard to fancy.

Garde des Champs is yet to win in his last six, though he was third last time out and has hit the frame in four of those, including a second three starts back; he has run over today's trip and going, but an eighth two starts back and 148 lb leave him a bit to prove.
