About the Perth Cup
The Perth Cup is Western Australian greyhound racing's premier Group 1 feature, staged at Cannington at the height of the Perth summer carnival. WA greyhounds are famous for their raw speed, and the Cup is the race every western kennel wants on its honour roll.

Back home-track specialists with recent Cannington course form; they know the quirks of the circuit better than any travelling rival.
