2023 Perth Cup Tips
The Perth Cup is one of the biggest horse races on the Australian calendar and this takes centre stage on New Year’s Day, with the entrants battling it out over one and a half miles. Alaskan God is regarded as the most likely winner of this encounter, with the runner finishing eighth in the recent Drummond Golf - Northerly Stakes although that was a hot race where a midfield position was more than respectable.
Let’s not forget that the Daniel Morton-trained runner was able to get home first in the Schweppes-W.A.T.C. Derby over one mile and four furlongs, with that victory happening at Ascot Racecourse. There was also a solid outing and a close finish in the Hosemasters - Asian Beau Stakes, while the horse found a one mile trip too stiff in the Furphy – Railway Stakes.
Marocchino can’t be discounted and Lou Luciani’s charge is bidding to score a further victory, with the latest effort being in the Ted Van Heemst Stakes which was a Group 2 encounter over one mile, two-and-a-half furlongs. The six-year-old also won the XXX Northam Cup and could be a good each-way shout.
Neufbosc is a French-trained runner who has struggled to make an impression in his previous two outings, with Neville Parnham’s charge looking to find some form although he might be better suited to the company on New Year’s Day. Buster Bash and Truly Inspired are other runners who could be in the frame.
