The Perth data that actually repeats
Before you back anything at Perth, three numbers matter — and they come from 1,102 Perth races in our settled-results database, not a pundit's hunch.
How often the favourite wins at Perth
The SP favourite has won 39.0% of races at Perth across 1,102 races. That is above the ~33% market-wide average — Perth rewards the form horse more than most tracks, but it still loses two races in three. Blind favourite-backing is not a plan at Perth.

How our Perth tips are made
This isn't a tipster's opinion. The same engine that measures the records above scores every runner at Perth each morning — form, class, the draw, the going, trainer and jockey signals across 11 years of UK & Irish results — and publishes a rated pick for every race before the off. Win or lose, every selection is logged on our public track record (verified 34.8% on max-bet selections).
