Sinful Living and Lexington City can be prominent. BRAVE STRIKE (5) was on the quick turnaround last start and was only 1.5L off the winner at this track and trip. Pike sticks in a good push for her chances and she looks to map for a similar run. Can go one better this time around as she returns to her best figures. LEXINGTON CITY (1) dipped at Pinjarra before missing the Bluff Knoll with a slight issue. He's trialled well since that run though and the inside draw is a big tick. Can make every post a winner. AHYEAHRIGHTO (7) was impressive fresh in easier company when beaten a lip at this track and trip. He's lightly raced and open to plenty of improvement second-up. He's a second-up winner in the past and he has to be included. HANG GLIDER (6) wasn't disgraced last start and back to 1000m is no issue. Can be in the finish. SINFUL LIVING (3) beat home Brave Strike last start and can repeat the dose. SUGGESTED PLAY: Brave Strike can get back to winning ways.
