Transfer property to lower rate Tax payer spouse to reduce CGT on sale

Hello All!

This might be a simple question (I hope).

I have a main residence and two rental properties. I would like to sell one of the rental properties. Can I transfer it to my spouse before selling so that we pay less CGT as she is a lower rate tax payer? or are there provisions within CGT that allow me to distribute the CGT into her allowance? eg. we do a 50/50 where I pay 28% and she pays 20% - Thanks!! :D
