GOING: G(4)

PETERS INVESTMENTS HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Loads of pressure, primarily from Secret Style, Sinful Living and Rocking Gem. SINFUL LIVING (5) disappointed at the end of last campaign after testing herself in some strong 3YO events. Her recent trial suggests she's back on song, as does the booking of Pike. She should be up front from the barrier and she'll prove tough to run down from the front. DEFERRED (7) turned in a nice trial leading into this and she was a fresh winner first-up last campaign. That was different to this, but she's fresh and draws the inside for Chris Parnham. Down in the weights and can play a major role. SILVER EYE (3) trialled back on January 13th and was scratched from Pinjarra last week. He turns up here with a good draw where he should be prominent. Placed 2/3 fresh and he should give a bold sight. MISS FLIRTACIOUS (4) will appreciate coming back to 1000m today and can bounce back to winning ways without surprising. ROCKING GEM (6) was too good last start and can repeat the dose. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sinful Living can resume on a winning note.
