They should run this along with Favaios and Lavish Charm taking it up over Sabino. LAVISH CHARM (2) couldn't have been more impressive at the end of his last campaign, leading and winning three on-end, jumping a $1.24 chance before the break. No trials coming in, but if he's up to the mark first-up for Fiore, then he'll be very hard to gun down. THE SHOWVINIST (1) is a former Victorian making his debut in the west. He hasn't been sighted since his latest run at Sandown and that form looks very strong for a race of this calibre. Draws the inside and can make an impression on resumption. THE LIONS' GATE (3) resumes here off a 100-day break and the draw gives Dhurun options. Two of his 3 wins have come at this track and trip and if he can resume close to how he ended last campaign, he'll be in the finish. FAVAIOS (4) can feature in the finish. SUNSHINE TAFE (6) won't be far away on resumption with Faithfull in the saddle. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lavish Charm looks the one.
