Complete Unknown (9/4), Famous Bridge (5/2), Galia Des Liteaux (7/2), Mahler Mission (5/1), The Goffer (17/2), Del La Mar Rocket (33/1)

15:35 Perth - 20 April 2022 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

FAMOUS BRIDGE confirmed himself as being well handicapped when scoring in good style at Kelso last month and can take the step up in grade in his stride. The 6-y-o is open to further improvement and can get the better of Galia des Liteaux, who remains with potential after only 2 starts under Rules so far. Of the Irish challengers, The Goffer had been progressing steadily prior to his Cheltenham run last time and he can put that effort behind him.
