Top Betting Offers To Take Advantage Of Today

This Class 4 contest over two and a half miles has drawn together a mix of experienced handicappers and those returning from breaks or new to their yards, making it a tricky puzzle for bettors to unpick.

Among the field are several well-known types, including Matchless, who is chasing a fourth straight success after climbing the ratings with three impressive performances. With a mark of 119 now, he sits at the top of the handicap and will need to find more against some unexposed and well-treated rivals. Also prominent is Luckie Seven, a horse with a 100% record at this venue and a solid 75% strike rate overall, although he’s been absent since November. While clearly dangerous if ready to go, that layoff must be a concern in a race of this nature.

The field is further complicated by runners like Trailblazer, who arrives off the back of consistent form and may be well suited to the demands of this sharp track. Jakana, meanwhile, produced a respectable effort at Hexham recently, finishing second in a small field, and could improve on that with race fitness now back on side. Coventry, though out of form, drops to a career-low mark and shouldn’t be dismissed completely if finding a spark.

That said, perhaps the most intriguing angle is the appearance of Tommie Gun, who shaped very much like a winner in waiting at Hexham last month when making his stable debut. Having undergone a trainer switch to Maurice Barnes just weeks before, the six-year-old showed significantly improved application compared to his earlier runs for previous connections and is clearly one to keep close tabs on moving forward.

Best Bet of the Day – Perth 15:08: Tommie Gun to Win

At BettingTips4You, our approach is always focused on selectivity rather than volume. We don’t throw out multiple bets per race – we isolate the single most compelling option for each meeting, offering readers clarity and a confident direction. For Sunday’s action at Perth, our strongest recommendation is Tommie Gun in the 15:08 contest.

While his recent form figures might not catch the eye at first glance, it’s his latest run that provides real substance. Lining up at Hexham on his first start for new trainer Maurice Barnes, Tommie Gun was travelling like the likely winner until a late error at the final flight disrupted his momentum. He had moved through the race powerfully, hit the front approaching the last, and appeared to have plenty left, but a mistake on landing cost him both rhythm and position.

Despite that, he still managed to finish third, only a length and a quarter behind the winner in a four-runner affair, suggesting there was plenty more in the tank had things gone smoothly. That outing came after a trainer switch and a 71-day break, so it is reasonable to expect him to strip fitter today. His mark has only crept up by 1lb, which still leaves him very attractively treated based on previous efforts, particularly those earlier in his career.

Charlie Price remains in the saddle and claims 3lb, which only strengthens the case further. While his recent strike rate is low, he has ridden Tommie Gun before and will know what adjustments are required. With Perth likely to suit his prominent style and the field containing a number of returning or inconsistent types, the race looks ideally set up for a bold run. This is a chance for redemption, and if he jumps more fluently at the business end, there’s little reason he won’t be right there when it matters most.
