Big Race Preview · Monday 7 September

Stephen Welch's Big Race Feature

The Hughes Cup at Perth on 7th September 2026, scheduled for 2:20, appears to be a competitive event. With only two declared runners, the race is likely to be a tactical affair, with the jockeys potentially dictating the pace from the outset. Both horses have shown form that suggests they are capable at this level, and their respective odds indicate a close contest. The small field size often leads to a more deliberate early pace before the sprint for home begins, demanding a strong finishing effort from whichever horse takes the initiative.

The verdict

Follow Your Luck stands out as the highest rated runner with five stars, suggesting a strong chance based on its verdict. At odds of 4/5, it is clearly the horse to beat in this field. Dunkerque, rated at three stars and 11/10, represents a solid alternative for those seeking slightly better value. While Follow Your Luck is the more fancied of the two, Dunkerque's current form and its competitive odds make it an interesting proposition for consideration, offering a potential value bet if it can outperform its rating.
