Expecting a strong gallop with Exceltrain and Influencing taking up the running over No Brainer. DEFERRED (4) jumped awkwardly and ended up too fat back on a slow tempo when a beaten favourite here a fortnight ago. She was only 0.8L away there and she had excuses on the day. Her sectionals suggest she should've gone close to winning and she can return to the winner's stall this time around. NO BRAINER (3) is an exciting prospect on the way up, leading all the way to win by 0.3L last start. Should be prominent in the run again for Brad Parnham and suspect we haven't seen the best of him yet. Can continue to improve and put his best foot forward. LOST CITY (8) disappointed at the end of last campaign but the stable has reset and she looks in good touch judging by her latest trial. Pike sticks from that outing and he's won 2/5 when on board. Best form is right up to a race like this and she's expected to feature heavily. INFLUENCING (2) can improve on a solid return down the Pinjarra Straight. JELLY CAN RUN (5) has strong claims after just missing last start. SUGGESTED PLAY: Deferred can get back to winning ways.
