Confidence rating

Let’s start 2024 on a winning note! The Perth Cup has really attracted a quality field, so this and race 5 are ones I’d avoid betting one while races 2 and 7 also looks to be even. If I was looking for another best bet, it would have been Sinful Living in race 1, but I think her odds are just a touch too short in a field that doesn’t have a lot of form.
