SHOOT FOR THE MOON

MOONBOW (3.08) can hit the target on the opening day of Perth's Glorious Finale Meeting.

- GARRY OWEN

Patrick Neville's bay improved again over hurdles when cosily denying Summergrounds here. The gelding always had his rivals' measure so can confirm his superiority in a strong event.

WHISPERING HOPES (3.43) is quietly fancied for Gordon Elliott in the Dewhurst Hurdle.

The mare ended her novice campaign with a decent third to Glitz And Glamour at Sligo.

The bay looks well treated back in a handicap so she can score for a yard who excel here.
