Verdict

Gordon Elliott had a couple of winners at Perth on Monday and will be hoping the tide has turned after a shocking run of form. IFFJACK has failed to score in 13 attempts but was in the lead at this trip before fading at Downpatrick and this is such a poor heat that he can finally get on the scoresheet. Whiskey No Ice has shown a bit of potential but it's very difficult to make a case out for any of the remainder.
