SECRET INFATUATION appeared to benefit from prominently ridden tactics when scoring in similar company latest and, on a return to 6f, he is taken to continue the winning trend. Lion By My Side continues to knock the door and must be considered along with Global Effect.
An open looking maiden for punters to solve but following a solid effort for new trainer Murray Rojas in October, it could be worth siding with LAWFUL. The should be more to come from the gelded son of Lite The Fuse but keep a watchful eye on Time For Wine and Arturius.
WILPONI appears to have turned a corner since joining the Jamie Ness yard and while this represents a step up in class, the five-year-old can continue to show his best form. The hat-trick seeking Syncopation and Born To Cus makes most appeal of the others.
The consistent STELLSIE is expected to appreciate this slight drop back in class and a similar performance to that, that saw her finish a game runner-up here in October, should be good enough. Bold Maneuver and Lil Carolina are others with claims.
WYNN WILLIE WYNN certainly wasn't stopping when landing the spoils over 1m here latest and he will prove a tough nut to crack if in the same mood tonight. Other last time out winner, Senator, looks an obvious danger, while Anga is no forlorn hope.
It could pay to side with SOBER LIVING in this low graded affair. She has been knocking on the door recently and a repeat of her third at Hoosier latest may well be good enough. Imagine Now and Promise To Sharon were closely matched over 5 1/2f here last time and they both have claims.
MASON'S HOPE gets the tentative vote. There was plenty to like about his third over an extended 1m at Delaware last time and dropping back in trip tonight can only help his cause. Big Bobby Z and Stimulus Program are others worthy of consideration.
WILD AND GOTAWAY got within a length of winning over 5 1/2f here last time and, with this drop back in trip a plus, she will be fancied to go one better. American Appeal rates the biggest threat after her track and trip second in early September, while Cherokee Lake isn't out of it either.
