In depth
Verdict
Ming Dynasty has more than three lengths to find with the less-exposed Ash Hill on Perth running and Lucinda Russell’s seven-year-old should confirm running. RECENT REVELATIONS is only a five-year-old but has plenty of experience over fences and can take advantage of this drop in class with Jordan Gainford taking off a handy 5lb.
